I was confused. Yes, the last element is the important one

| May 6, 2014 at 22:08 | comment | added | äüö | it's a bit confusing since you can overrule it by setting a stress when speaking it :) | |

| May 6, 2014 at 22:05 | comment | added | Emanuel | @falkb... yes. "Gestern habe ich das Buch meiner Mutter gegeben" vs. "Gestern habe ich meiner Mutter das Buch gegeben." The focus is on the element that comes later. You might want to check out "Thema" and "Rhema" if you want to dig deeper. | |
