The customer likes the shoes = The shoes (subj.) are pleasing to the customer (obj.)
Die Schuhe gefallen dem Kunden.

subject (nominative)
The verb is conjugated to match the subject
(= the shoes that are liked by the customer)
The person doing the liking
object (dative)
Some German verbs always take a dative object. It’s important to learn these verbs as a set because for many of them we would expect to use a direct (accusative) object.
- danken
- gefallen
- gehören
- glauben
- helfen
- passen
- schmecken
- stehen
A few masculine nouns add an -(e)n in all cases except the nominative. These include:
Student = student
Kunde = customer
Mensch = person
Junge = boy
anprobieren (probiert … an)
to try on
The dative case is used for indirect objects. An indirect object is a person or thing to whom or for whom the action of the verb is being done.
The SUBJECT is in the
nominative case.
The DIRECT OBJECT is in the accusative case.
The INDIRECT OBJECT is in the dative case.
