Learning German Adjectives and Colors

Learning German Adjectives and Colors German modifiers, similar to English ones, for the most part go before the thing they alter: der gute Mann (the great man), das große Haus (the huge house/building), die schà ¶ne Dame (the pretty woman). In contrast to English descriptors, a German modifier before a thing must have a consummation (- eâ in the models above). Exactly what that consummation will be relies upon a few variables, includingâ genderâ (der, bite the dust, das) andâ caseâ (nominative, accusative, dative). In any case, more often than not the closure is a - eâ or a - enâ (in the plural). Withâ ein-words, the closure changes as indicated by the altered things sex (see underneath).
