Nice explanation Dennis, Depending on what sound comes right after the "y", it can be heard more or less clearly, because it can be "linked" to the following sound as in "y-usted". Its original pronunciation remains the same nevertheless..

Nice explanation Jillfrost. It is indeed one of the big difficulties in German, since it takes time to get used to the different cases required, and to the different verbs that can be used in each situation... The preposition "in" can be used for Location , in this case it's followed by the dative case, as in: Ich bin in der Kneipe = I'm in (or at) the bar But it can also be used to describe a Direction , in this case it's followed by the accusative case, as in: Er kommt in die Kneipe = He's coming to (or into) the bar. Hope it makes sense...Keep it up!
