Your head is one fruit.

Taken from context, I do believe he is using ein as "a".

(Das weiß ich doch... Deshalb sagte ich ja "direkte" Übersetzung und habe mich wie ein einfacher Online-Übersetzer verhalten. )

ein, einen, einer..... es tut mir leid, mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.

If you´d just left out "ein", it would be okay, because "Obst" needs no further word before it. You would say "ein", if you´d have specified a special masculine fruit, e. g. "ein Apfel".

It's alright to say ein with Obst because Obst is neuter, thus uses "ein" in the nominative case. But he still shouldn't have used it.

Also, Ich spreche nicht sehr gut Deutsch, aber ich lerne es. Ich habe zwei Semester im Universitat.

Du hast es nur in der Universität angefangen?

Kontext is alles.

It's alright to say ein with Obst because Obst is neuter, thus uses "ein" in the akkusativ. But he still shouldn't have used it.

Since Obst is used as a material, no "ein". He could have said "aus Obst", which would be okay. However, not using any word before Obst in this sentewnce would be best. (Though it is always better to specify the fruit, because it simply sounds better)

Yeah, I'd prefer to let the german native take authority on german usage. You were almost right, but 'sein' doesn't take the akkusativ.

Ja. Meine Highschool habe kein Deutsch.

I hope that was right.

I agree, he shouldn't have used "ein" but if it were a case where he could have, he wouldn't have needed to use a masculine fruit.

That's all.

Dass sieht gut aus.

Ich bin nicht gut in das schreiben von Deutsch, weil ich viele, kleine Grammatik-Fehler mache.
Ich bin geboern in Bayern, aber ich lebe in Holland.

Ja. Meine Highschool habe kein Deutsch.

Seine Hochschule lehrt kein Deutsch? Scheiss!
Then again, I'm the only one doing german in my school. I go to a different school to do it, but it's in my timetable.

Sein is normally used as the infinitive of to be, but when used as a pronoun, it actually does take the akkustativ. And ein most definitely does, because ein switches to einer with masculine verbs.

That's all.

But what about: "Dein Kopf ist eine Birne"? Since Birne is feminim, "ein" works not for it. (Since "ein" is only used for masculine and neuter)

Leider spreche ich kein Niederländisch...Ich will es in der Zukunft lernen.

I was most clearly trying to refer to the fact that Obst is a neuter, hence why I pointed it out in the beginning of the discussion.

nono. 'sein' as in the verb 'to be'. When describing something, the nominative applies to the object of the sentence when using the verb 'sein' because the subject and object are the same.

Oh yeah. Point still stands though, because neuter uses ein in the nominative case too.

yes of course . i was just correcting you, don't want you to be wrong I've been doing German for 6 years so...

Yeah, but since Obst is just a term and not a thing you can hold in your hand, you left out the "ein". Difficult to describe.

Obst is like the collective word for fruit. Would 'Frucht' be better or would you have to say a specific type of fruit?

I know you should leave out the ein.

We've been through this.

Usually specify it, because it sounds better.
