Adjectiv Endungen Lite: Adjective following articles and pre-ceeding nouns.

Colors and Clothes

Simplified Version

• All adjective that precede nouns have endings called ‘adjective endings’. We will learn what those endings are.

Der Hut ist toll Der tolle HutDas Hemd ist hässlich Das hässliche Hemd.Die Jacke ist schick Die schicke Jacke

• Adjective Endings are more complex that what we are learning today, and we will learn more in the coming years, but this is a simplified explanation to get you started. Pay attention now, and later these will be even easier…

Ein Substantive macht Larm

All nouns have a gender. They are either masculine, neutral, or feminine (der, das, die) and each one makes a certain sound…

Masculine (der) – is manly, grumpy and always acts tough and trys to show even when he is not so cool.

Neutral (das) – is right between yes and no, indesisive and cannont commit.

Feminine (die) – is always excited about what is going to happen and can hardly contain itself or

RRRRRRRR!SSSSSSSSS…EEEEEEEEE!

See any connection?!?!?

If you look at the sounds the different genders make, we can deduce WHERE the articles came from…

Masculine (der) – is manly, grumpy and always acts tough and trys to show even when he is not so cool.

Neutral (das) – is right between yes and no, indesisive and cannont commit.

Feminine (die) – is always excited about what is going to happen and can hardly contain itself.

If you look at the sounds the different genders make, we can deduce WHERE the articles came from…deR = RRR

Masculine (der)Neutral (das) – is right between yes and no, indesisive and cannont commit.

Feminine (die) – is always excited about what is going to happen and can hardly contain itself.

If you look at the sounds the different genders make, we can deduce WHERE the articles came from…deR = RRR, daS = SSS

Masculine (der)Neutral (das)Feminine (die) – is always excited about what is going to happen and can hardly contain itself.

If you look at the sounds the different genders make, we can deduce WHERE the articles came from…deR = RRR, daS = SSS, diE = EEE

Masculine (der)Neutral (das)Feminine (die)

Practice sounds…

Herr Snider will say either Masculine, Neutral, or Feminine. You will give the appropriate sound required.

Again, these sounds sound like the letters… RRRRRRRRR = rSSSSSSSSSS = sEEEEEEEEEE = e

Sound chart…Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

Masculine (der) Der/ein-- Den/einenNeutral (das) Das/ein-- Das/ein--Feminine (die) Die/eine Die-eine

We are just looking at he nominative and accusative parts of the chart, because that is all we have learned so far.

Every article (definite and indefinite) make these sounds, except in four spots…

Chart of Change…Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

Every article (definite and indefinite) make these sounds, except in four spots…There is the RRR sound for masculine…There is the SSS sound for neutral…There is the EEE sound for feminine.

Chart of Change…Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

If the initial sound of RRR, SSS, and EEE are made in the article then every adjective will have and ‘e’ ending!

Changes…Spot #1Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

You will notice that ‘der’ changes to ‘den’ when a masculine noun changes from nominative to accusative case (subject to direct object)

Changes…Spot #1Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

This means that the original RRR sound has evolved into a brand new sound of

EN!Any adjective following the EN sound will

end in the same EN sound.

Changes…Spot #3, 4, 5Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

The other spots where the original sound is not made occurs with the word ‘ein’ (a)

in the masculine nominative and the neutral nominative/accusative…

Change…Spot #3, 4, 5Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

When this occurs, since the original RRR, SSS are not there, the sound (or the letter)

transfers to the adjective!ein tollER or ein tollES

Changes…Spot #3, 4, 5Nomnative Accusative Dative Genitive

Lets do some practice…

What ending do the adjectives receive?

Der rote Rock gefällt mir.Das schicke T-Shirt scheint.Die tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ein roter Rock gefällt mir.Ein schickes T-Shirt scheint.Eine tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ich habe den schönen Rock an.

Der rote Rock gefällt mir.

The RRR sound is located on ‘der’ so the adjective ending is an ‘e’

Der rote Rock gefällt mir.Das schicke T-Shirt scheint.

The SSS sound is located on ‘Das’ so the adjective ending is an ‘e’

Der rote Rock gefällt mir.Das schicke T-Shirt scheint.Die tolle Bluse kostet 10€.

The EEE sound is located on ‘Die’ so the adjective ending is an ‘e’

The RRR sound is not present, so itso it moves to the adjective.Die tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ein roter Rock gefällt mir.Ein schickes T-Shirt scheint.Eine tolle Bluse kostet 10€.

The SSS sound is not present, so itso it moves to the adjective.Die tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ein roter Rock gefällt mir.Ein schickes T-Shirt scheint.Eine tolle Bluse kostet 10€.

The RRR sound change to EN, so the adjective ending is also an ‘en’Die tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ein roter Rock gefällt mir.Ein schickes T-Shirt scheint.Eine tolle Bluse kostet 10€.Ich habe den schönen Rock an.

Zusammenfassung (summary)

• When speaking each gender had a sound that it uses. RRR for masculine, SSS for neutral, EEE for feminine. If you don’t hear that sound, and an adjective comes after the article and before the noun, the adjective takes the sound. (otherwise the adjective takes an e)

• When masculine changes to ‘den’ any adjectives will have an ‘en’ ending.
