The four #German cases
1.) Nominativ (Werfall) - nominative
2.) Genitiv (Wessenfall) - genitive
3.) Dativ (Wemfall) - dative
4.) Akkusativ (Wenfall) - accusative
These are the four German cases - die vier Fälle. They are important for you to understand, since they affect both nouns and pronouns in our language depending on their function in a sentence. In addition certain verbs and prepositions trigger certain cases. The English language also has cases, but they are only apparent with pronouns (e.g. he - his - him).
Since the topic is a little more complex, I will dedicate a bunch of grammar posts to it (tagging them as both grammar and cases). You also might wanna read through the posts about grammatical terms again (especially #1 and #2) to make sure you understand the terminology.
