häufigen

Häufigen is a German adjective meaning "frequent" or "common." It is the inflected form of the adjective "häufig." The adjective "häufig" is used to describe something that occurs or appears many times, often or regularly. It can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from everyday occurrences to statistical data.

For example, one might speak of "häufige Besucher" (frequent visitors) to a website, "häufige Regenfälle" (frequent rainfall) in a particular region, or "häufige Fehler" (common mistakes) made in a specific task. In scientific contexts, "häufig" can denote a high probability or a prevalence of a particular phenomenon.

The inflection of "häufigen" depends on its grammatical function within a sentence, specifically the case, gender, and number of the noun it modifies, as well as whether it is used attributively or predicatively. For instance, in the nominative plural masculine, it would be "häufigen." In the genitive singular feminine, it would also be "häufigen." Understanding these grammatical rules is essential for correct usage in German. The core meaning, however, remains consistently related to a high degree of occurrence or repetition.
