grafischen

Grafischen is the inflected form of the German adjective grafisch, meaning graphic or pertaining to graphics. It is used to describe nouns in German and reflects the language’s system of adjective declension, which changes endings according to gender, number, case, and whether a definite article is present.

In phrases with a definite article, the ending -en appears in several forms. Examples include den grafischen Stil (masculine singular, accusative), dem grafischen Stil (masculine singular, dative), and des grafischen Stils (masculine singular, genitive). In the feminine singular, dative expressions such as der grafischen Darstellung show the same -en ending. In the plural, die grafischen Stile (nominative) and mit grafischen Inhalten (dative plural) illustrate how grafischen appears with different determiner contexts.

Without a definite article, grafisch follows strong or mixed declension endings, producing forms like grafische Stile (nominative plural) or grafische Darstellung (feminine singular, nominative). The exact ending depends on the noun’s gender, case, and number.

Etymology and usage: grafisch derives from Grafik, the German term for graphic or graphics, itself borrowed from French graphique and ultimately linked to Latin graphicus and Greek graphikos. In modern German, grafisch and its inflected forms are widely used across design, printing, digital media, and academia to describe visual representation, layout, typography, and related stylistic elements. Common collocations include grafische Gestaltung, grafischer Stil, and grafischen Inhalten.
