FAQ: Understanding Adjective Endings
Why do adjective endings change in German?
They change based on three factors: the gender of the noun, the case (nominative, accusative, etc.), and what kind of article (if any) comes before the adjective.
Is there an easy rule for dative and genitive?
Yes! If there is a definite article (der/die/das) or indefinite article (ein/eine) or possessive pronouns (mein,dein) before the adjective in the dative or genitive case, the adjective ending is always en. Learn more about the dative case here or check out the genitive case guide.
What is the difference between Strong and Weak declension?
"Weak" declension happens when an article (like der) already signals the grammatical information. The adjective relaxes and takes an e or en ending. "Strong" declension happens when there is no article; the adjective must do the "heavy lifting" (e.g., cold water = kaltes Wasser). Read our full adjective endings guide.
What is the best way to learn the adjective endings?
The best way is to practice them systematically with clear rules and lots of exercises. Our Adjective Endings eBook offers detailed charts, explanations, and over 50 exercises to help you master this topic.
