im

1. Contraction ofindem;inthe

• The contractionim is obligatory when the definite article has nodeixis whatsoever. In this case it is ungrammatical to usein dem as separate words:

Wir sitzenim Garten. ―We're sittingin the garden.

Er arbeitetim technischen Bereich. ―He worksin the technical field.

• On the other hand,im is usually not applicable when the definite article has an indicative function. This includes contexts in which English would use a demonstrative pronoun (“this” or “that”) but also some others. Particularly,in dem is used before adefining relative clause.

Indem Haus haben wir mal gewohnt. ―We used to live inthat house [over there].

Mein Großvater starb indem Haus, wo ich geboren wurde. ―My grandfather died inthe house where I was born.

The prepositionin can be used with both accusative and dative objects, but it only contracts withdem asim and withdas asins. Thus, the combination ofin with the definite article has the following forms:

Others posit these linguistic features to be remnants ofProto-Cushitic.
