Österreichischem

Österreichischem is the dative singular form of the German adjective österreichisch, meaning Austrian. It is used to describe a masculine or neuter noun in the dative case, often within a prepositional phrase or when there is no determiner. Typical examples include mit österreichischem Wein or in österreichischem Recht. In contexts with a definite article or other determiner, the ending changes (for instance, dem österreichischen Wein).

Originating from Österreich, the German name for Austria, österreichisch forms a regular adjective with the common suffixes -isch. The form österreichischem represents how German adjectives inflect to indicate case, number and gender. Like other adjectives, it describes origin, nationality or association with Austria and can modify nouns across domains such as cuisine, culture, language and law.

In other grammatical cases, the adjective appears in other inflected forms, such as österreichischer (nominative masculine singular or other forms) or österreichische (feminine or plural forms). The choice of ending depends on the article (definite, indefinite or none) and on the grammatical role of the noun.

Usage notes: österreichisch is also used to refer to Austrian varieties of things, including language, culture and products. While the capitalized Österreich denotes the country, the lowercase adjective österreichisch attributes origin or affiliation, not a proper noun. The form österreichischem thus signals a specific syntactic function (dative, masculine or neuter) within a larger noun phrase.
