inländischer

Inländischer is the inflected form of the German adjective inländisch, meaning domestic, home-country, or pertaining to the Inland. The term is used to describe things that originate in or relate to one’s own country as opposed to foreign.

As a grammatical form, inländischer appears as an attributive adjective in certain declensions. It is the masculine nominative singular form when the noun is not preceded by a definite article, for example ein inländischer Investor. With a definite article the form becomes der inländische …, while other cases yield des inländischen, dem inländischen, or den inländischen depending on case and gender.

Common usages include economic contexts such as inländischer Handel (domestic trade), inländische Produktion (domestic production), and political or regulatory language such as inländische Gesetzgebung (domestic legislation). The antonym is ausländisch, meaning foreign. The noun Inland is related as the source noun; inländisch refers to characteristics of the Inland, whereas Ausland denotes foreign territory.

Notes: inländischer is not a standalone noun; it is an adjective form. The spelling and ending follow the standard rules for inflected -isch adjectives, so the exact ending varies with article, case, gender, and number. Learners should pay attention to how the ending changes in different grammatical contexts.
