Word family

Typical collocations
Typical phrases are 'einen Kart fahren' (to drive a go-kart), 'einen Kart steuern' (to steer a go-kart), and 'einen Kart mieten' (to rent a go-kart). With 'fahren' (to drive), 'Kart' (go-kart) can therefore be used directly as an accusative object.

To describe getting in, the usual phrase is 'in den Kart steigen' (to get into the go-kart), with the accusative. To describe your position while driving, use 'im Kart sitzen' (to sit in the go-kart), with the dative.
