´Úü°ù, um

Wo ist der Kiosk?
Where is the kiosk?
but
um den Kiosk
around the kiosk
Wo ist die Messe?
Where is the fair?
but
´Úü°ù die Messe
for the fair
Was ist das Problem?
What is the problem?
but
um das Problem
around the problem

der Kiosk ´Úü°ù
um
...den Kiosk
die Ecke ...die Ecke
das Problem ...das Problem


The words ´Úü°ù and um are called prepositions. Note how, in the above, die and das don't change but der in der Kiosk changes to den Kiosk.

This change is triggered by the prepositions ´Úü°ù and um. As a result, den, die and das are in the accusative case.
