- German_adjectives abstract "German adjectives come before the noun, as in English, and are not capitalised. However, as in French and other Indo-European languages (but not English), they are generally inflected when they come before a noun: they take an ending that depends on the gender and case of the noun phrase.Ein kleiner Mann (a short man; masculine gender)Eine kleine Frau (a short woman; feminine gender)Ein kleines Mädchen (a short girl; neuter gender)The type of article or determiner preceding the noun also affects the inflection: in German, 'a red book' and 'the red book' have different adjective endings:Ein rotes BuchDas rote BuchLike articles, adjectives use the same plural endings for all three genders, though this does vary with the article or determiner as described above.Eine lustige Frau (a funny woman, feminine gender)Ein lustiger Mann (a funny man, masculine gender)Die lustigen Frauen (the funny women, plural)Die lustigen Männer (the funny men, plural)Participles may be used as adjectives and are treated in the same way.Ein wieder geöffneter Bahnhof (a re-opened railway station; masculine)Eine wieder geöffnete Bibliothek (a re-opened library; feminine)German adjectives are declined only when they come before the noun in which they describe. This is called the attributive position of a nominal phrase. Predicative adjectives, those in English separated from the noun by is or are, are not declined and are indistinguishable from adverbs, unlike in Romance and North Germanic languages.Die laute Musik. ("The loud music.")Die Musik ist laut. ("The music is loud.") Not Die Musik ist laute.There are some words that can be used as adjectives but are not inflected, such as Schweizer ("Swiss") and Jerusalemer ("pertaining to Jerusalem", for example Jerusalemer Kreuz).There are three degrees of comparison: positive form, comparative form, and superlative form: these correspond to (and have the same endings as) English equivalents such as 'large', 'larger' and 'largest'. 'Very loud' is said as sehr laut; as in English but unlike Italian and Latin, no ending exists to express this absolute superlative form as a single word.".
