Pronoun 'uns' (us, accusative)

'uns' is the accusative form of 'wir' - it means us when we are the direct object of an action.

A handy fact: 'uns' is the same in the accusative and the dative. You do not have to choose a different form - uns works for both the direct object (Er besucht uns) and the indirect object (Er hilft uns).

When you use it:

• after accusative verbs: besuchen, sehen, kennen, einladen (for example Er besucht uns - he is visiting us)
• after accusative prepositions: für, ohne, gegen, um (for example für uns - for us)

Contrast:

• Wir lernen Deutsch. (subject - nominative)
• Er besucht uns. (object - accusative)

Examples:

• Er besucht uns morgen. - He is visiting us tomorrow.
• Das Essen ist für uns. - The food is for us.
• Sie lädt uns ein. - She is inviting us.

Common mistakes: Do not use wir as the object (not Er besucht wir). Use uns.
