Schülers

Schülers is the genitive singular form of the German noun Schüler, which means pupil or student. The base noun Schüler denotes a person who attends school, typically in primary or secondary education. In standard usage, plural forms are die Schüler, referring to multiple pupils, while the genitive plural is der Schüler, used to express possessions belonging to multiple pupils (for example, die Aufgaben der Schüler).

The genitive singular form, des Schülers, is used to indicate possession by a single pupil. For example, Das Heft des Schülers means the student’s notebook. In everyday written and formal German, this construction is common, though speakers may also express possession with eine alternative phrasing such as das Heft von dem Schüler.

In contrast to the singular genitive, the plural possessive does not use a form like Schülers. Instead, it is expressed with the definite article der + Schüler in the genitive plural: Die Aufgaben der Schüler (the pupils’ assignments). The spelling Schülers without a preceding article typically appears only as the stem in the genitive form within a larger noun phrase, not as an independent noun.

Related terms include Schülerin (female pupil), Schülerwelt (a broad, informal phrase referring to school life), and schulsystem (education system). The word is widely used in educational contexts, literature, and media discussing schools, students, and learning.
