Questions & Answers about Meine Schwester speichert das Dokument in der Cloud, damit ich es auch sehen kann.
Why is it meine Schwester and not mein Schwester?
Because Schwester is a feminine noun in German.
The possessive mein- changes its ending depending on the noun’s gender, number, and case. Here, Schwester is:
- feminine
- singular
- nominative (the subject of the sentence)
So you need meine Schwester.
Compare:
- mein Bruder = my brother
- meine Schwester = my sister
- mein Dokument = my document
What is speichert and why does it end in -t?
Speichert is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb speichern, which means to save / store.
The subject is meine Schwester, which is she, so the verb is conjugated like this:
- ich speichere
- du speicherst
- er/sie/es speichert
- wir speichern
- ihr speichert
- sie/Sie speichern
So Meine Schwester speichert ... means My sister saves/stores ...
