Questions & Answers about Dein Outfit sieht heute besonders gut aus.

Why is it Dein Outfit and not Deine Outfit?

In German, the possessive word (mein, dein, sein, etc.) must agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun.

• Outfit is a neuter noun in German: das Outfit.
• The sentence uses nominative singular, because dein Outfit is the subject of the sentence.

For a neuter noun in the nominative singular, the correct form is dein, not deine.

• dein Outfit = your outfit (subject, neuter, nominative)
• deine Jacke = your jacket (subject, feminine, nominative)

What grammatical case is dein Outfit in here?

Dein Outfit is in the nominative case.

Reason: It is the subject of the sentence – the thing that is doing the “looking good”.

The structure is:

• Subject: Dein Outfit
• Verb: sieht … aus
• Predicative complement: besonders gut
• Adverbial: heute

So: Dein Outfit = nominative.

Why are sieht and aus separated? Isn’t the verb aussehen one word?
