lol well i dont know if you guys have public records and ect over there like we do here where you can just type in a persons name and DOB ect and look up public record info?

yea sorry i was still half awake when i typed that xD

@Merry: Do you have bit grammar knowledge? You know what subject of a sentence is? Subjects in German are always Nominativ. Dativ is indirect object, Akkusativ is direct object. I can't really explain it if you don't look at the grammar at all because it's... well yes grammar :'D There is also prepositions that all want a case too but this is something you have to learn (mit, nach, bei, seit, von, zu, aus = always Dativ durch, für, ohne, um, gegen = always Akkusativ)
Genitiv is really rarely used in spoken language. It's mainly used for possession.
Das Kind des Vaters > des Vaters is Genitiv and marks that it is his child. In spoken language a Dativ with preposition is used more commonly > Das Kind vom Vater.
Man I'm no teacher. I can't explain that in an understandable way xD

@Myth: Gosh I have no idea how all that is called in English but yes basically your name, adress and all is recorded by the city you live in. But as far as I know only by the city, not by the state. So if you don't know where he lives it could become hard. And I don't know if they would give you these information at the telephone and I can't afford to travel through the whole country to ask them personally^^; I could try telephone book. Otherwise no idea besides check facebook :'D

You can also say 'Das Kind von Vater' but that would imply that he is your own father. You know that "vom" is short for "von dem" and removing the m just leaves 'von'. Without article it is considered a name. Still a Dativ, you just can't see it ;) Dativ because preposition "von" always wants a Dativ. mit, nach, bei, seit, von, zu, aus <- Always Dativ.
durch, für, ohne, um, gegen <- always Akkusativ
There are some that can take both and change their meaning by it buuut I would have to look them up.

Hmm your example works with a preposition. In German it translates with a preposition too because 'haben' is transitive (Verb wants only one object), indirect objects only exist in ditransitive sentences (verb wants two objects). In your sentence 'her sister' would be Akkusativ because 'für' wants an Akkusativ. If you use 'send' instead of 'has got' it would work.
That woman sent a bunch of flowers to her sister.
Diese Frau (subject>Nominativ) schickte ihrer Schwester (indirect> Dativ) einen Blumenstrauß (direct>Akkusativ)

The more I try to explain it the more German seems completely horrible to me :'D
Maybe it would be easier if I knew a little about Dutch. They are sister languages after all >.<"
Use of Genitiv is always sure. My German professor even claimed that people using Dativ instead of Genitiv are stupid. Thank you Mister prof
When you learned it in school don't you have a book that explains everything?

As said you know it by the preposition. If you have 'von' you always have a Dativ after it, so 'dem'. 'den' is Akkusativ :P The prepostion stuff is something you have to learn by heart I'm afraid^^;

Sentences. Sure. I'm bad at making them up but I can crawl through a book and pick some. Just gimme some time :>

You will rarely hear people using Genitiv and if they use it they are probably German professors ;P In written languages you will see it more often. Same goes for Präteritum (past tense). Not used in spoken language anymore. But the most common tense in literature.
In my regional dialect both, Dativ and Genitiv, are dead btw :P

I've only requested two things (one of which was already made, and I was super happy), and the other is just chillin' there. If I request something I really would like to see it, and it'd be one of the few I don't wait until the end of their span to buy. XD

Most confusing things to remember for Spanish grammar: estar/ser and the six (I think) tenses. They kill me. But I can usually manage, somehow. I've never gotten less than an A in that class.

Aaaalright I'll put it on my list. That would actually force me to draw a female Knuffel :'D

I never notice but you got no girl at all.

You should do a girl, I want to see one in your style. She should have long hair and big eyelashes ;D

Aaaaah I hate big lashes *runs away*
