Asuka teaches you how German cases work [Educational]

Asuka Langley Soryu

Ugh, how long are we supposed to wait here? This is so boring!

Asuka Langley Soryu

I should be out there in Unit-02, showing that Angel who's boss!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Hey, how long have we been stuck in this stuffy bunker anyway?

Asuka Langley Soryu

Two hours already? Time sure drags when you're not kicking Angel butt.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Wait, did you say something about German cases?

Asuka Langley Soryu

Of course I can teach you about German cases! I'm a college graduate, after all.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Prepare yourself for a linguistic adventure, worthy of the great Asuka Langley Soryu!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Alright, listen up! In German, we have four main cases: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Each case shows the role of a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It's not that complex once you get the hang of it!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Let's start with the Nominative case. It's used for the subject of a sentence.

Asuka Langley Soryu

For example: "Asuka ist die beste Pilotin." - "Asuka is the best pilot." See? Asuka is the subject here.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Next up, the Accusative case. It's for the direct object of a sentence.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Like this: "Die NERV-Mitarbeiter bewundern Asuka." - "The NERV staff admire Asuka." I'm the object of their admiration, naturally!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Now, the Dative case is used for indirect objects. It answers the question 'to whom?' or 'for whom?'

Asuka Langley Soryu

Here's an example: "Die Kommandantin gibt Asuka einen neuen Auftrag." - "The commander gives Asuka a new mission."

Asuka Langley Soryu

Lastly, we have the Genitive case. It shows possession or relationship between nouns.

Asuka Langley Soryu

For instance: "Asukas Fähigkeiten sind unübertroffen." - "Asuka's skills are unmatched." Which is absolutely true, by the way!

Asuka Langley Soryu

So there you have it! The four German cases explained by yours truly.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Any questions, or was my explanation too brilliant for you to handle?

Asuka Langley Soryu

Well, I hope that cleared things up for you. German might be complex, but it's nothing compared to piloting an Eva!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Remember, practice makes perfect. Not that you'll ever be as perfect as me, of course.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Seriously, how much longer do we have to stay in this bunker? I'm getting claustrophobic!

Asuka Langley Soryu

If that Angel thinks it can keep the great Asuka Langley Soryu trapped down here, it's got another thing coming!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Well, at least explaining German to you killed some time. But don't think this makes us friends or anything!

Asuka Langley Soryu

I'm just being nice because I'm bored out of my mind.

Asuka Langley Soryu

And don't you dare forget that you owe me one now! I expect some serious gratitude for this impromptu German lesson.

Asuka Langley Soryu

Maybe you can start by admitting that I'm the superior pilot AND language teacher!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Wait, do you hear that? I think the alarm's stopped!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Finally! Time to get out of this cramped bunker and show that Angel what a real fight looks like!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Alright, let's go! Asuka Langley Soryu, ready for action!

Asuka Langley Soryu

Just watch me take down that Angel in record time. It won't know what hit it!
