idiomatischen

Idiomatish is an adjective in German meaning “idiomatic.” The form idiomatischen is a declined form of this adjective, used in various grammatical contexts.

In linguistic terms, an idiom is a fixed or semi-fixed expression whose meaning cannot always be inferred from the meanings of its components. Expressions like die idiomatischen Ausdrücke (the idiomatic expressions) or ins Blaue hinein (acting without knowledge of details) illustrate how idioms convey culturally conventional meanings. Idiomatic language often includes collocations, phrasal verbs, and set phrases that native speakers recognize as a unit.

The word idiomatischen appears as a declined form of idiomatisch in several grammatical contexts. Examples include die idiomatischen Ausdrücke (nominative plural), den idiomatischen Ausdrücken (dative plural), and der idiomatischen Ausdrücke (genitive plural). It can also appear in other plural or case contexts, reflecting standard German adjective declension after definite or quantified determiners.

In summary, idiomatischen is one of the inflected forms of the German adjective idiomatisch, used to describe idiomatic language and expressions. The concept of idiomatische language emphasizes non-literal meaning, cultural usage, and the conventional nature of many expressions in a language.
