I could not understand why it is Bankautomaten in this sentence



Kannst du an einem Bankautomat**en** anhalten?


In the dictionary, the singular noun is Der Bankautomat and plural noun is Die Bankautomaten. Why can it be einem Bankautomaten? What is the grammar rule here?

  • You have to consider all hints: einem Bankautomaten cannot be plural because ein is a strictly singular article. The -em at einem gives away it's dative case, and the -en on Bankautomaten agrees to that.

Because the word "an" in this usage requires a dative, and (Bank)automaten is a dative singular form (and also the dative plural form).

    The preposition "an" can also be used with accusative, but not in this case because anhalten does not involve direction.

There's a group of nouns called n-stem, or weak nouns. These nouns take a weak "-en" ending in the genitive, dative and accusative singular forms. Der Automat belongs to this group.



Examples include:




Der Junge, des Jungen, dem Jungen, den Jungen

Der Kunde, des Kunden, dem Kunden, den Kunden

Der Bär, des Bären, dem Bären, den Bären

Der Mensch, des Menschen, dem Menschen, den Menschen




There is also a (very) small subgroup in which the singular genitive takes "-ens" as an ending:




Der Name, des Namens, dem Namen, den Namen

Das Herz, des Herzens, dem Herzen, das Herz *

Der Wille, des Willens, dem Willen, den Willen

Der Gedanke, des Gedankens, dem Gedanken, den Gedanken




* Note the accusative form for Herz
