In German today, we did the chicken dance while singing the list of prepositions that take the accusative case.

Durch, fur, gegen, ohne, um... Sing with me?

lol

That's a lot worse than the song we learned.

Now, how about the Blue Danube:
"Aus, ausser, bei, mit
nach, seit
von zu"

;)

I'll keep it in mind when I learn those words...more prepositions, I preume?

[egg_green]

yup. Dative case.

Why God? Why? Why do people always forget gegenüber? Why? Can't we show a bit of love for gegenüber, too?

[angeloftofu]

Gegenüber? Very much against? Perhaps?

[egg_green]

across from (as in, "die Straße gegenüber")

Nice try, though! ;)

"across from"... apparently no relation to it's components, "gegen" and "über".
