In Plattdüütsch determiners take on gender and case markings, as can be seen in the table above. In the examples below we can see how we handle dative.
- de<det><masc><dat><sg> ↔ den
- de<det><neu><dat><sg> ↔ dat
In the following we can see that Plattdüütsch uses a 'vun'+nomDet form for genitive clauses.
- de<gen><masc><gen><sg> ↔ vun den
- de<gen><neu><gen><sg> ↔ vun dat
