- this is an auto and you can say das auto east alt but you can also say das east an altes auto
- and as you can see here on top the adjective ending change now the questions are when do you need to change it
- how do you need to change it and what affects the ending these are the questions you're gonna find answer in this video right now the
- adjective declination or in english declension of adjectives nominative
- hello and welcome back to your german teacher ishai saluti and today we will talk about the adjective the clination in nominativ a
- terrible topic i know it's probably i think one of the worst one of the most difficult german grammar topics but especially if you want to take a b1 exam
- you need to know these endings before we start with the endings there's two questions you need to be answered two important things you need to know
- number einstein is to an adjective when do you have to decline an adjective for this we take the same sentence as
- before in the intro does auto is out now we have outdoor auto is the noun thus norman and alt is adjective and as you can see the adjective is
- behind the noun if we take the second sentence that is auto again we have das norman
- and we haven't added we have here the adjective as well now you can see the adjective is in front of the noun and you can also see the ending of the
- adjective is changing so to recap the whole thing is if an adjective is behind the noun if the adjective stands behind the noun you
- don't need to touch the adjective at all it's the original form it's like the first thing when you learn an adjective that's the original form of the
- adjective so you don't touch it it's just as you learned it but if the adjective stands in front of the noun then you need to change the ending
- the end what affects the ending and there we have three points is
- gender so we have masculine feminine and neutron number is it also depends on the article if the article is a definite or a indefinite
- article all right let's start with the adjectives endings the adjective and nominative
- as you can see here on this table we do have guinos guinness is the gender again all these three masculine neutrons feminine and plural also changes in
- plural and then we have the endings for the definite and the indefinite articles we start with definite articles masculine is a
- now if we have an indefinite article then it changes a little bit masculine becomes e air
- now when you look at this table in most textbooks actually is just written like this and most students they do memorize it this
- is definitely an option you can't just memorize these endings in nominativ by the way these are actually the most
- difficult ones it will get easier in acquisitive datif and gaining teeth these are the following videos we will come soon but in nominative these are
- actually the most difficult ones but there is actually a second option and there is a system behind behind this whole thing there is actually a concept
- behind these endings so it's not just randomly chosen there is a system and more about this system later in my bonus tip
- machenville by spieler let's do some examples we start with masculine what is an elephant now can describe this elephant a little
- bit in more in detail i can say this is an elephant
- elephant and as you can see here on top of me i put there the whole table with the endings you can see masculine
- indefinite article it's ein kosa elephant that's indefinite article so you have to add the ending er now we want to go a little bit further
- and describe this elephant more in detail so for example you could say the course elephant hat
- just one thing i want to make sure here we talk about declension of adjectives in nominativ why nominative because the adjective we use is describing the
- subject and the subject is always in nominativ any look at this example here there goes
- elephant their elephant is the subject and is a nominativ so if you describe the subject with an adjective here cause then
- you have to use the declension of adjectives in nominativ so all the examples we're gonna do right now are adjectives describing the subject just
- to make this clear all right let's continue the course elephant hats by stosten is
- when you check the table again above me there you can see for definite article the ending for the adjective is a e just anita
- elephant so you need to add a e s ending for the adjective
- now again describe this cell phone a little bit further does ka put
- what do you have to add in check the table definite article das and it's neutral so you have
- definite article feminine or is feminine so you have to add a e d elegante plural in plural
- these are old newspaper now if again more in detail you can say d blah blah blah
- check the table definite article d in plural tone is plural also you have to add a e n d alternate
- sphere all right now i'm gonna give you the whole
- system behind those endings there is a system and we start with a table again you see the gender again and the definite
- article not the endings the normal definite articles which you know already de das feminine d and plural d
- and now you see in red these last letters they are the so-called strong endings these are they
- are called strong endings so the definite article the last letter of of the normal definite article is a strong ending so masculine is r
- neuter is s feminine is e and plural is also e now when we add the adjectives endings these are the endings for the adjectives
- with definite articles so there's always e e e and in plural it's e n and they are called weak endings these
- are all weak endings it's always e or in plural it's e n
- now important to know when you do have a modified noun meaning an adjective in front of a noun so you have to change the ending of the adjective
- then you need either in the article or in the adjective one strong ending again
- if you have an adjective in front of a noun so you need to change the ending of the adjective you need either a definite article with strong endings
- or indefinite article and strong endings in the adjective so either both and there has to be one strong ending
- if you have definite article like here on this table now then you don't need the strong endings that's why you have these weak endings in the adjective
- but when we change this now when we go to the indefinite article we have ein feminine
- and in plural there is no article at all now when you look at those endings the indefinite articles they do not have a strong ending except feminine feminine
- has the strong e but masculine and neuter and plural rule there's no ending at all so of course there is no strong ending
- they don't have a strong ending again to recap in the definite article and these strong endings you need to have one so if you
- do have an indefinite an indefinite article plus the adjectives then you need to add those endings in masculine in neuter and in
- plural you need to add this strong ending they do have a strong ending not feminine feminine is already strong and
- ned is e is a strong ending so it gets a weak ending which is a e again in masculine definite articles this are the strong
- endings so if you have an indefinite article ein then the adjective needs to get this r as well so the ending is er
- neuter s you also need this in the adjective if you have an indefinite article and in plural as well okay that
- i hope it was not too much a little bit but this is actually the whole concept behind it so you always have one
- week and one strong ending therefore if you have definite article
- which do have strong endings then you can use the weak endings but if you have a sentence with an indefinite article and another
- then you need this strong ending in the adjective tip number five i do have a second important tip and of course there's not only definite and indefinite
- articles we do have for example also negative article kind of possessive article
- and so on and these articles they behave exactly the same like an indefinite article the same declension as indefinite article so
- the adjectives using negative article auto-possessive article they have the same declension as indefinite articles
- is an house and you can say thus is kind kleine's house and this is the course's house this is
- and as you go on the table again hakkein behaves like an indefinite article house is neutral so therefore you have to add this e s
- is masculine here behaves like an indefinite article therefore you have to add this e
- r that is of course in germany do you always have exceptions and the exception is in
- plural if you have a sentence with the noun in plural then it's not an indefinite article ending
- the sint by spiel doesn't claim hoiser the synthetic hoiser and as you can see in the table above me
- this is the ending of the definite article same goes for plural it possessive uptake
- now the woman doesn't have one dog so now she has three dogs they can say again in plural therefore you have to use the
- definite article ending which is en okay i called it exceptions i just call this exceptions and in a lot of textbooks you will actually find this
- used they will explain you the added the declension of articles and then they show you this that positive article and negative article they behave like
- indefinite articles and the exception is plural but if you look at this sentence again with the system i just taught you before
- then you can see you have this strong e already right so this ire has the strong e therefore you have to use the declension of
- the definite article so this era here behaves like a definite article and then it's obvious yes it's a strong ending so you have to use the en
- same goes for the example like before the synth kai neckline and hoiser in plural this e has already the strong ending
- therefore it's like a definite article and therefore you can use this e n ending for the adjective and what's the next logic step now
- declension of adjectives in thank you very much for watching now if you want to practice this
- write down in the comments a sentence with a adjective in front of video you can describe this video right now using a declension of
- adjectives
