Grammar Notes:
"Dies ist ein digitales Bild einer jungen Person, die neben einer hellen, futuristischen Darstellung des Ethereum-Kryptowährungssymbols steht."

### Word-by-Word Explanation:

1. Dies
- A demonstrative pronoun meaning "this," used to point out something specific.

2. ist
- From the verb "sein" (to be). "Ist" is the third-person singular present form, meaning "is."

3. ein digitales Bild
- "ein": The indefinite article "a" for neuter nouns in the nominative case.
- "digitales": An adjective meaning "digital," with an ending adjusted for a neuter nominative singular noun.
- "Bild": Means "image" or "picture." It is a neuter noun (das Bild), so "ein digitales Bild" means "a digital image."

4. einer jungen Person
- "einer": The dative or genitive feminine form of "eine" (a), used here in the genitive case to indicate possession or association.
- "jungen": An adjective meaning "young," with an ending appropriate for feminine genitive singular.
- "Person": Means "person." It is a feminine noun (die Person), so "einer jungen Person" means "of a young person."

5. die
- A relative pronoun meaning "who" or "that," referring back to "Person." It introduces a relative clause describing "Person" and appears here in the nominative case because "Person" is the subject of the relative clause.

6. neben einer hellen, futuristischen Darstellung
- "neben": A preposition meaning "beside" or "next to," which takes the dative case.
- "einer": The dative feminine form of "eine" (a).
- "hellen": An adjective meaning "bright," with an ending appropriate for feminine dative singular.
- "futuristischen": An adjective meaning "futuristic," with an ending for feminine dative singular.
- "Darstellung": Means "representation" or "depiction." It is a feminine noun (die Darstellung), taking the dative form "einer hellen, futuristischen Darstellung."

7. des Ethereum-Kryptowährungssymbols
- "des": The genitive masculine/neuter form of "der" (the), used here to show possession or association.
- "Ethereum": A proper noun, here acting as an adjective specifying the type of symbol.
- "Kryptowährungssymbols": Means "cryptocurrency symbol." "Symbol" is a neuter noun (das Symbol), so in the genitive case it becomes "Symbols," and the compound term here describes it specifically as "Ethereum's cryptocurrency symbol."

8. steht
- From the verb "stehen" (to stand). "Steht" is the third-person singular present form, meaning "stands" or "is standing."

### General Grammar Tips:

- Genitive Case for Possession: The genitive case, as in "einer jungen Person" and "des Ethereum-Kryptowährungssymbols," often expresses ownership or association. It can be recognized by articles like "des" (for masculine/neuter nouns) and "einer" (for feminine nouns).

- Relative Pronouns: German relative pronouns (like "die" in this sentence) must agree in gender and number with the noun they refer to, but their case depends on their role within the relative clause. Here, "die" is nominative because "Person" is the subject of the clause.

### Related Vocabulary:

- "Symbol" (neuter): Means "symbol," often used with digital and technological contexts.
- "Abbildung" (feminine): Another word for "illustration" or "image," similar to "Darstellung" but often more general.
