English Translation
I am thankful for veterans.
Does this sentence sounds strange and weird? LIke I am thankful to someone for bringing some veterans in for a party or something. So if I were thankful to the veterans themselves I would use Dativ, wouldn’t I? For example,
“Ich bin den Veteranen dankbar für ihren Mut und ihren Einsatz zur Verteidigung unseres Landes.”
Please correct me if I am wrong. Maybe it is just a grammar being not quite precise and mean different thing depending on what is the most plausible.
