The most German graffiti ever

Image description:

Picture with a slightly run-down looking church's front door on the right side of the picture, and on the left a section of the church's wall and a graffiti-covered dumpster in front of it.

On the wall is graffitied a 4x4 table with the columns labeled from left to right "M", "F", "N" and "PL" – for the masculine, feminine, neuter and plural forms. The rows are labeled from top to bottom "nom", "akk", "dat", "gen" for the nominative, accusative, dative and genetive cases. The corresponding definite articles are written out in the table each in its own spot (I hope screen readers don't barf with tables):

	M	F	N	PL
NOM	DER	DIE	DAS	DIE
AKK	DEN	DIE	DAS	DIE
DAT	DEM	DER	DEM	DEN
GEN	DES	DER	DES	DER

Just in case anyone wants to learn the German cases from a table in an image description: Dativ Plural should be DEN.

- Argh, I was squinting at the text and just went "… I think it was dem? I'm pretty sure it's dem" As I said in another comment, grammar has never been my strong suit (in any language)

  To be honest, I have no idea how anyone can memorise that. As a native speaker you hardly ever really think about it, you just know. But looking at the table it just seems like complete chaos, even to me.

- At least the graffiti artist made the right case for den homeless people learning German in the street.

  "for die homeless people" :)
  
  (Insert obvious allusion to "die, Bart, die" scene here.)

Die Fälle haben die falsche Reihenfolge, aaaaahhhhhh!

- Nom, Gen, Dat, Akk.
  
  Musste ich aber noch mal googlen, weil ich erst Nominativ und Akkusativ in der Reihenfolge vertauscht habe.

  Exakt

- Es gibt wohl einige Länder, die den Akkusativ zumindest in der Lateindidaktik nach den Nominativ setzen. Frag mich nicht, welche bahnbrechenden pädagogischen Erkenntnisse dazu geführt haben – macht in internationalen Lateinforen immer mal wieder etwas Konfusion, welches nun genau der "zweite Fall" ist...

Gute Bildbedschreibung. Als der Maler würde ich aber die Spalten × Reihen umtauschen.

- Es würde mich trotzdem verwirren 😅 Grammatik ist nicht meine Stärke
  
  Edit: und danke

  Muss das in deutsche Grundschulen gelehrt werden oder nur bei DAF?

- „Romanes eunt domus“, what‘s that supposed to mean?

  Romani domum ite — Romans go home.

Last row's description says DEN instead of GEN ;)

Thanks for taking the time to type it out, I couldn't read the letters on the picture as my phone is too small.

Now we need a table with the adjective endings and which movement prepositions go with what (Ich gehe nach/ins/auf/zu)
