hunderten

Hunderten is a form used in German language in relation to the number hundred. It is not a separate concept on its own, but rather a declined plural form associated with the noun Hundert, which denotes the unit one hundred. The common plural used for ordinary counting is Hunderte, while Hunderten appears in certain grammatical cases and fixed expressions that discuss large quantities.

In usage, Hunderten typically appears in phrases that convey an approximate count or a large amount. For example, in written or formal German you might encounter constructions that translate to “in the hundreds” or “from hundreds of …,” where Hunderten functions as part of a dative or otherwise inflected plural form. These phrases are used to describe numerical scales that are not exact but close to several hundreds of people, objects, or events.

As a lexical item, Hunderten is rarely used as a standalone proper noun. It is not recognized as a place name or as the name of a prominent organization in standard reference works. When encountered in text, it is generally understood as a grammatical variation linked to Hundert rather than as an independent entity.

Related terms include Hundert (the base number one hundred) and Hunderte (the standard plural form for ordinary counting). For broader context on numerical expressions in German, see also related number words and phrases.
