ausdauerndes

Ausdauerndes is the neuter singular form of the German adjective ausdauernd, which means enduring or persistent. It functions as an attributive adjective and is declined according to German grammar. The form ausdauerndes appears when the adjective modifies a neuter noun in the nominative or accusative without a definite article, or with an indefinite article.

In practice, several common patterns exist for neuter singular nouns:

- Without a determiner: ausdauerndes Training (enduring training)

- With an indefinite article: ein ausdauerndes Training

- With a definite article: das ausdauernde Training (the enduring training)

In the other cases, endings shift: des ausdauernden Trainings (genitive), dem ausdauernden Training (dative).

Etymology and meaning: ausdauernd is derived from Ausdauer (stamina, endurance) plus the participial suffix -nd, forming an adjective that describes lasting or persevering quality. The word retains a strong, descriptive sense in both everyday language and more formal or technical contexts, such as fitness, sport science, psychology, and pedagogy.

Usage notes: wie in German, attributive adjectives like ausdauernd must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case, leading to different endings (ausdauerndes, ausdauernde, ausdauernder, etc.). The neuter singular form ausdauerndes is particularly common in phrases like ausdauerndes Training, ausdauerndes Gedächtnis, or similar constructions where a neuter noun is described by the enduring quality.

Overall, ausdauerndes is a grammatical form used to express enduring quality before neuter nouns, most often encountered in technical or descriptive German.
