Zoologischen

The term "zoologischen" is the genitive singular form of the German word "zoologisch," which translates to "zoological" in English. In the context of German, it is used to indicate possession or a relationship to zoology, the scientific study of animals. For example, "der zoologischen Garten" would mean "the zoological garden," or "die zoologischen Forschung" would refer to "zoological research." It functions similarly to the English possessive "'s" or the preposition "of" when referring to something related to the field of zoology. This grammatical form is essential for constructing accurate and grammatically correct German sentences when discussing animals, their habitats, or the scientific disciplines that study them. Understanding its usage is key for anyone learning or using the German language in scientific or general contexts related to the animal kingdom.
