Synonyms: jenem (that one); Antonyms: (no direct ones)

A declined form of the demonstrative pronoun 'dieser'. The '-em' ending marks the dative singular for masculine and neuter nouns.

Remember the dative prepositions like 'mit', 'nach', 'von', 'zu'. The 'm' sound in 'diesem' and 'dem' is a key marker for masculine/neuter dative.
