Täglicher

Täglicher is the inflected form of the German adjective täglich, meaning daily or every day. It is used to describe a noun in attributive position, typically before masculine or neuter singular nouns when the noun is introduced by an indefinite article or a possessive determiner. For example, ein täglicher Termin (a daily appointment) or mein täglicher Kaffee (my daily coffee). The form varies with gender, number, and case, so other forms exist for feminine or plural nouns and when the article is definite.

In common usage, täglicher appears in schedules, routines, and everyday patterns. It is often found in compound expressions such as täglicher Bedarf (daily needs) or täglicher Konsum (daily consumption). For feminine nouns, the attributive form is tägliche, as in eine tägliche Routine (a daily routine). In the plural with a definite article, the form becomes die täglichen Termine (the daily appointments).

Etymology and relation: täglicher derives from Tag (day) with the suffix -lich, forming the adjective täg-lich, which is the source of the English daily. The word historically appeared as taglich in older spellings and shares cognates across Germanic languages.

Notes: täglicher is not a standalone noun; it remains an adjective and always agrees with the noun it modifies. The adverbial counterpart is täglich, used without the adjective endings to describe verbs or actions.
