Berühmter

Berühmter is the inflected form of the German adjective berühmt, meaning famous. In standard usage it functions as an attributive adjective before masculine singular nouns, typically after an indefinite article. For example: ein berühmter Künstler. When used with a definite article, the ending differs (der berühmte Künstler).

The form is not normally used as a standalone noun. Rather, Berühmter would appear as part of a larger noun phrase describing a person or role. In written German, capitalizing the adjective as a proper noun is unusual and would usually indicate a stylized or fictional name rather than ordinary grammar.

In contrast, the related noun berühmt-heit or Berühmtheit expresses the concept of fame itself, while berühmt remains the descriptive term. German speakers distinguish between referring to someone as berühmt (famous) and naming the status or individual using a proper name or title in specific contexts.

Notable uses of the exact term Berühmter are not associated with a widely recognized person, place, or work. It may occasionally appear in fiction or media as a character name or stylistic title, but it is not established as a standard reference in linguistic or encyclopedic sources.

Usage tips: to say “a famous artist,” use ein berühmter Künstler. With a definite article, the form is der berühmte Künstler. The term serves primarily as a normal comparative-attributive adjective within German grammar, rather than as a widely used proper noun.
