    Grammar & Usage

    verb phrase
    formal

    How it works

    This phrase consists of the adjective 'rechtlich' (declined in the accusative masculine singular as 'rechtlichen'), the masculine noun 'der Rat' (advice), and the separable verb 'einholen' (to obtain/seek). It functions as a predicate where 'rechtlichen Rat' serves as the direct accusative object of 'einholen'. In subordinate or infinitive clauses, the verb prefix and stem interact according to standard German verb placement rules (e.g., 'einzuholen', 'holte ... ein').
