Fällend

Fällend is a term used in the German language to describe a type of adjective declension. In German grammar, adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in terms of case, number, and gender. Fällend adjectives are those that change their ending based on the case and number of the noun they modify, but not based on the gender of the noun.

Fällend adjectives are typically used with masculine and neuter nouns in the nominative and accusative cases, as well as with feminine nouns in the accusative case. They are also used with plural nouns in all cases. The endings for fällend adjectives are as follows:

- Nominative and accusative singular: -er

- Dative singular: -en

- Genitive singular: -en

- Nominative, accusative, and dative plural: -en

- Genitive plural: -er

Examples of fällend adjectives include "großer" (big), "kleiner" (small), and "schöner" (beautiful). When modifying a noun, the adjective takes the appropriate ending based on the noun's case and number, but not its gender.

Fällend adjectives are one of the three main types of adjective declension in German, along with schwach (weak) and gemischt (mixed). The choice of which type of adjective to use depends on the specific noun being modified and the context in which it is used.
