Advanced Description

This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.

The pronoun uns is used to refer to a group of people including the speaker. It is equivalent to the English pronoun 'us'.

In German grammar, uns is the accusative and dative form of the pronoun wir. The accusative case is used when the pronoun is the direct object of a verb, while the dative case is used when the pronoun is the indirect object or after certain prepositions.

For example, in the sentence 'Wir haben uns gestern getroffen' (We met yesterday), uns is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb 'haben' (have). In the sentence 'Ich gebe uns das Buch' (I give us the book), uns is in the dative case because it is the indirect object of the verb 'gebe' (give).
