![]() ![]() Wegen “unvorstellbar en“ Gespür, war der König ermordet. (Due to “incredible” intuition, the king was murdered.).Wegen unvorstellbar er Gier, war der König ermordet. (Due to incredible greed, the king was murdered.).(Due to incredible anger, the king was murdered.) Wegen unvorstellbar en Zorn, war der König ermordet.If we used each of these unpreceded nouns in the genitive case, the sentences would read like this: Sie war mit unvorstellbar en Lügen bestraft.(She was cursed with incredible intuition.) Sie war mit unvorstellbar em Gespür bestraft.Sie war mit unvorstellbar er Gier bestraft.Sie war mit unvorstellbar em Zorn bestraft.If we used each of these unpreceded nouns in the dative case, the sentences would read like this: Sie hat unvorstellba re Lügen erzählt. (She has told incredible lies.).Sie hat unvorstellbar es Gespür. (She has incredible intuition.).Sie hat unvorstellbar e Gier. (She has incredible greed.).If we used each of these unpreceded nouns in the accusative case, the sentences would read like this: Übermäßig e Gier hat Folgen. (Excessive greed has consequences.).If we used each of these unpreceded nouns in the nominative case, the sentences would read like this: Let’s change things up a bit an construct some new sentences using these nouns: Notice how “gendered” these endings are! They are almost identical to the “der words” (definite articles) chart we learned in the Articles post (click here to see the “der words” chart)– the only difference is that the genitive masculine and genitive neuter are “-en” instead of “-es.” The way I remember that the unpreceded adjective endings is by supposing that if there is no article to define the noun’s gender, something has to do it, and that the noun’s adjective takes on that responsibility. Keine Bären essen keine Karotten keiner groß en Zoowärter.ģ) For nouns that are not preceded by any article, the adjective endings are:.Ein Pferd isst ein Fisch eines groß en Kinds.Eine Katze isst eine Kiwi einer groß en Nonne.Ein Löwe isst einen Apfel eines groß en Besuchers.Keine groß en Bären essen keine groß en Karotten von keinen groß en Zoowärter.If we used all plural nouns and the “ein word” “kein”, the sentence would read like this: Ein groß es Pferd isst ein groß es Fisch von einem groß en Kind.Eine groß e Katze isst eine groß e Kiwi von einer groß en Nonne.Ein groß er Löwe isst einen groß en Apfel von einem groß en Besucher.If we used all masculine nouns, the sentence would read like this: Die Bären essen die Karotten der groß en Zoowärter.Ģ) For nouns that are preceded by an indefinite article, the adjective endings are:.Das Pferd isst das Fisch des groß en Kinds.Die Katze isst die Kiwi der groß en Nonne.Der Löwe isst den Apfel des groß en Besuchers. ![]() In instances of the genitive case for each gender, the sentences would read like this: Die groß en Bären essen die groß en Karotten von den groß en Zoowärter.If we used all plural nouns, the sentence would read like this: Das groß e Pferd isst das groß e Fisch von dem groß en Kind.If we used all neuter nouns, the sentence would read like this: Die groß e Katze isst die groß e Kiwi von der groß en Nonne.If we used all feminine nouns, the sentence would read like this: Der groß e Löwe isst den groß en Apfel von demgroß en Besucher.So, if we used all masculine nouns, the sentence would read like this: We will revamp our example sentences from the Articles post by adding the adjective “groß” (big) to each noun.ġ) For nouns that are preceded by a definite article, the adjective endings are: I think the easiest way to demonstrate these adjective endings in action will be to utilize colored charts to decipher the correct adjective ending for each adjective-noun situation you may face, and then to construct examples. The combined classification of gender and case also determines the proper endings that must be attached to each of the adjectives ascribed to each noun. As you’ve come to know and love, German articles are subject to the relationship of the noun’s gender and case. ![]()
