großartigem

Großartigem is the dative singular inflected form of the German adjective großartig, meaning excellent, magnificent, or outstanding. It is used before a noun in the dative case when the adjective stands without a definite article or other determiner, reflecting the strong declension pattern. The form conveys praise or high quality about the described noun.

Usage and examples:

In contexts without a determiner, großartigem appears before masculine or neuter nouns in the dative: mit großartigem Mut (Mut is masculine) and mit großartigem Engagement (Engagement is neuter). It also occurs in phrases like in großartigem Stil. When a definite article or determiner is present, the ending changes to fit the weaker declension: dem großartigen Mann, im großartigen Stil, mit dem großartigen Engagement. In these cases the ending is -en (großartigen) rather than -em.

Grammatical note:

großartigem is the strong (or mixed in some determiner contexts) dative singular form of großartig. The exact ending depends on whether a determiner precedes the noun. With no determiner, the strong ending -em is used for dative masculine/neuter; with a determiner, the ending usually shifts to the -en form seen in the weak declension.

Etymology and usage:

The adjective großartig is a compound of groß (large, great) and artig (character, characteristic) and conveys high praise. In German, it is a common, neutral to positive descriptor for people, works, performances, or styles considered outstanding. While generally positive, it can be used ironistically in certain contexts.
