What endings should attributive (i.e., descriptive or qualitative) adjectives have following andere, einige and their like? This problem, to be sure, is not a major one, but all too frequently it is rather vexing for both the teacher and the student. Apparently since "authorities" themselves do not agree with one another on this point, authors of our beginning and advanced grammars, unfortunately, have glossed over or avoided presenting the problem. It would be very helpful, if in our future grammars a statement something like the following would be included, i.e., "After several limiting (indefinite pronominal and numerical) adjectives in the plural attributives add -e in the nominative and accusative cases and -en in the genitive and dative. These limiting adjectives are: iihnliche, andere, beide, einige, einzelne, etliche, gewisse, manche, mehrere, saimtliche, solche, sonstige, verschiedene, viele, irgendwelche, and wenige. |
