attributsnebensätze

Attributsnebensätze are a type of subordinate clause in German that provides additional information about an attribute. They are also known as "Attributienklause" in German grammar.

Attributsnebensätze are characterized by the use of "der/das/die" (the definite article) to introduce the subordinate clause, which describes a property or quality of an attribute. This type of sentence is used to provide more information about the attribute being described.

The structure of an Attributsnebensatz typically consists of a finite verb in the present tense and a subordinate clause introduced by "der/das/die". The subordinate clause can be a noun clause, an adjective clause, or a pronoun clause.

The following is an example of an Attributsnebensatz:

"Der Mann, der eine Brille trägt, ist mein Vater." (The man who wears glasses is my father.)

In this example, the subordinate clause "der eine Brille trägt" describes an attribute of the subject of the main clause, providing additional information about the man's appearance.

Attributsnebensätze are used to add more detail or nuance to a sentence, and are a common feature of German grammar. They can be used to describe a wide range of attributes, from physical characteristics to personality traits.

It's worth noting that Attributsnebensätze can be translated into English in a number of different ways, depending on the context and the intended meaning. They may be translated using a subordinate clause, or may be rendered as a more straightforward statement.
