Lehrers

Lehrers is a term most often encountered in English-language texts as the plural form of the German surname Lehrer, or as a proper noun in its own right. The German root here is Lehrer, which means teacher.

In German itself, the word Lehrer functions as a common noun meaning "teacher." The standard plural is die Lehrer, and the genitive singular is des Lehrers. The form Lehrers without an apostrophe does not represent a standard German inflection. It may appear only in non-German contexts or as part of borrowed or stylized text.

In English usage, Lehrers can occur as the plural of a surname. For example, it might refer to multiple people who share the last name Lehrer. When forming possessives in English, the singular possessive would be Lehrer's (as in Lehrer’s book) and the plural possessive Lehrers' (as in the Lehrers' books). Such constructions reflect English orthography rather than German grammar.

Overall, Lehrers is primarily encountered in discussions of names, genealogy, or language, rather than as a separate, widely used term with independent meaning. The concept most closely associated with Lehrers is the occupational origin of the surname Lehrer, tied to the historical role of teachers in German-speaking regions.
