Etymology

Contraction of in (“in”) + dem (“the”)

Contraction

im m. and n. (dative case)

1. in the; pertaining to the

Usage notes

im only occurs in the dative case.

Declension

Since the form im is used only in the dative case and only with a masculine or neuter noun, adjectives that follow it are declined with -en, and the following noun is declined in the dative case.

The preposition in can be used with both accusative and dative objects, but it only contracts with dem as im and with das as ins. Thus, the combination of in with the definite article has the following forms:

	masculine	neuter	feminine	plural
accusative	in den	ins	in die	in die
dative	im	im	in der	in den
