farbigem

Farbigem is the dative singular masculine or neuter inflected form of the German adjective farbig, meaning colored or multicolored. It is used when the adjective modifies a masculine or neuter noun in the dative case without a determiner.

In German, adjectives are declined according to case, gender, number, and article presence. Farbigem occurs in contexts where there is no article and the noun is in the dative singular. Common prepositions that govern the dative, such as mit, aus, or bei, often accompany phrases like farbigem Stoff or farbigem Glas. If a determiner is present, the adjective takes a different ending: dem farbigen Stoff after a definite article, or einem farbigen Stoff after an indefinite article.

Examples:

- Der Mantel besteht aus farbigem Stoff.

- Die Vitrine ist aus farbigem Glas.

- Mit farbigem Garn können Muster betont werden.

Notes:

The form farbigem is one of several possible endings for the adjective farbig; others include farbiges (neuter nominative/accusative) and farbige (feminine or plural). Farbigem appears specifically in the dative singular masculine or neuter when no determiner is used. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use a determiner phrase such as dem farbigen Stoff or einem farbigen Stoff, which changes the ending accordingly.
