Völligen

Völligen is the inflected form of the German adjective völling? the adjective völlige? Wait, the correct base is völlig, meaning complete or utter. Völligen is the plural weak ending used after definite determiners. In practice, völligen appears in phrases describing multiple nouns when the determiner signals a definite context, such as die, jene, meine, and similar.

Etymology and grammar: The adjective völlig derives from voll meaning full, with the suffix -ig to form an intensifying meaning. In attributive use before nouns, adjectives in German decline according to gender, number, and case. For plural, the weak ending after a definite article or determiner is -en, which yields forms like völligen in the appropriate cases. Examples include: die völligen Ergebnisse (nominative or accusative plural with a definite article), mit völligen Ergebnissen (dative plural after a preposition). In contrast, without a determiner you would use a strong ending, as in völlige Ergebnisse.

Usage: v ö ll igen conveys totality or extremity and is common in formal, journalistic, and literary German. It can modify nouns across genders and numbers in plural contexts, or appear in singular forms with other endings (e.g., eine völlige Niederlage, ein völliger Sieg). It is synonymous with words like völlig, total, vollkommen, depending on nuance and emphasis.
