[GERMAN] Dativ vs Akkusativ in c/languagelearning@sopuli.xyz

I think the key thing to mention about your accusative example is not that the car is part of the action, but rather that 'in' is describing motion towards/into something.

Nothing personnel

We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

A jumper is a bad example, because it's not just made up of sleeves.

A bra is a much better example. But I was never making an argument that all things made up of two parts are referred to as a pair, just my thoughts on the rationale behind cases where we do.

I'd say it's less of a grammar rule and more about how things made up of two similar parts can be conceptualised

They're made up of two similar parts which form a pair, unlike a jumper
