This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...great and small shout contentedly (G.) / etn 93ud) fitr ott unb jung, a book for old and young; gteid) unb gteid) gefeflt fid) gem, birds of a feather flock together. Analogous is the elliptical use of the adjective in such a phrase as toon jung ax, from youth up. 1. The names of languages are substantive adjectives which are indeclinable, except immediately after ba8; e. g., id) lerne (r)eutfd), I am learning German; U)ie beijjt eS auf Englifdj? in mein geliebte (c)eutfdj, inio mybeloved fferaan (G.); bie SWerfmale eineS guten gran= joftfd), the marks of a good French. But er faridjt ba- SBeurfdje gut; im 2)eutdjen liigt man, toenn man bbflidj if! (G.). let one says ba8 beutige SDeutfdj (not SDeutfdje). 2. Several English nouns are represented in German by substantive adjectives that follow the rules of adjective declension; e. g., etn Seamter, an official, ber 33eatnte, etneS 93eamten, bie 33eamten; mein S3erroanbter, my kinsman, ber Skrroanbte, bie SSerroanbten; bag Siufjere, the exterior, but fein "iiufjeteg, his or its exterior. Such words are subject to the same uncertainty of inflection as other adjectives after aHe, anbere, etc. ( 288, 3, a); e. g., atte (c)eleljrte(ti); biele S8eomte(n). a. Such a substantive adjective, if preceded by a strong adjective, may become weak, especially in the neut. and the gen. pi.; e. g., ein (djoneS 2tufjere (instead of 2lufjere8), a beautiful exterior; tin jfreis lieber Scrroanbten. So, too, one meets with ein gvofjer (c)eteljrte, a great scholar, and feiu reicfjer SSerluaubte, his rich relative; but (c)eleijrter and S5er= roanbter are better. In the nom.-acc. pi. without article 33erttanbte, SSeamte, are better than SSerttmubtm, Seamten. Butinthedat. sing, without article usage p
