Hi everyone, Let’s continue talking about adjective endings… To review the Strong inflexion, click here: Starke Deklination.
Typ 2 : Gemischte Deklination
Mixed inflection, or ,,Gemischte Deklination“, is used:
- After the indefinite article ,,ein-“, ,,kein-“
- After the possessive determiners in singular.
| Mixed Inflexion | ||||
| Männlich masculine | Weiblich feminine | Sächlich neuter | Mehrzahl plural | |
| Nominativ | -er | -e | -es | -en*1 |
| Akkusativ | -en | -e | -es | -en*1 |
| Dativ | -en | -en | -en | -en*1 |
| Genitiv | -en | -en | -en | -en*1 |
*1 kein/e/n is used to show the plural because you can say “no shoes” but not “a shoes”! With ein-words (ein, dein, keine, etc.), the adjective must reflect the gender of the noun that follows.
- The adjective endings in the nominative ,,-er“, ,,-e” and ,,-es” correspond to the articles ,,der“, ,,die“, and ,,das” respectively.
- The adjective endings in the accusative ,,-en“, ,,-e” and ,,-es” correspond to the articles ,,den“, ,,die“, and ,,das” respectively.
- The adjective endings in the dative and genitive is ALWAYS –en!
I will talk more about the weak inflexion in the next post. As I said previously, keep practicing German gender nouns and cases because it is very important!!! 😉
