Gefährliche

Gefährliche is a form of the German adjective gefährlich, meaning dangerous. It functions as an attributive adjective and is used before nouns to indicate danger. The formها arises from German declension patterns and is not a separate lexical item; the base form of the adjective is gefährlich.

Grammatically, gefährliche appears in several common contexts:

- Feminine singular with a definite or indefinite article: die gefährliche Frau, eine gefährliche Frau.

- Plural with definite or indefinite articles: die gefährlichen Frauen, gefährliche Frauen (without an article, strong declension often yields gefährliche).

- It is also the feminine singular form that occurs before feminine nouns in both nominative and accusative cases (the form passende examples include die gefährliche Kurve, eine gefährliche Situation).

The masculine and neuter equivalents have different endings (gefährlicher Mann, gefährliches Auto), while the plural forms are gefährlichen with some articles.

Usage and nuance:

Gefährliche is used to describe things that pose risk or harm. It appears in everyday language, journalism, and literature to qualify nouns such as situations, curves, animals, or persons, depending on gender and number.

Title use and disambiguation:

In some cases, Gefährliche may appear as a stylized title or proper name in media or branding. When used as a title, it is treated as a proper noun and capitalized, but it does not represent a separate entry in standard German dictionaries beyond its role as a declined form of gefährlich.
