exklusivem

Exklusivem is the dative singular inflection of the German adjective exklusiv, meaning exclusive. In German, adjectives decline according to case, gender and the presence or absence of a determiner. The form exklusivem occurs in the strong declension, i.e., when no article precedes the noun, and the noun is masculine or neuter in the dative case. Examples include mit exklusivem Angebot (with an exclusive offer), in exklusivem Stil (in exclusive style) and zu exklusivem Preis (at an exclusive price).

In comparison to other inflected forms, exklusivem appears in contexts where the noun is in the dative singular without a definite or indefinite determiner. With definite articles, the corresponding dative forms are dem exklusiven Angebot (neuter) or dem exklusiven Mann (masculine). With indefinite articles, the adjective typically takes a different ending (e.g., einem exklusiven Preis), as it follows mixed declension. The base adjective exklusiv itself is borrowed from Latin exclusivus via French exclusif and English exclusive, and it is widely used in marketing, media and everyday language to denote restricted access, premium quality or membership-only access.

Usage notes: although exklusive and other inflected forms are common, exklusivem is primarily encountered in phrases lacking a determiner or after prepositions that require dative, and thus it signals a characteristic rather than a definite label.
