Iberischen

Iberischen is the declined form of the German adjective iberisch, used to describe things related to Iberia, the geographic and cultural region that includes most of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal and parts of southern France) and its historical influence. The base adjective iberisch derives from late Latin Ibericus, via Greek Iberikos, and denotes origin, alignment or association with Iberia.

In German, iberisch behaves like a typical adjective and changes its ending according to case, number and gender of the noun it accompanies. For example, it appears as iberischer, iberische, iberisches, or iberischen in different contexts. A few common phrases illustrate its usage: das iberische Festland (the Iberian mainland), die iberischen Länder (the Iberian countries), auf dem iberischen Festland (on the Iberian mainland). The form iberischen is most common in the dative singular neuter or the plural forms in various cases.

The term is frequently employed in geography, history, and cultural topics, covering areas such as iberische Halbinsel, iberische Küche, iberische Kunst oder iberische Geschichte. It is not a proper noun by itself; it functions as an attributive or predicative adjective whose ending adapts to grammar.
