neuesten

Neusten is a German adjective form derived from neu, meaning "new," used to express "latest" or "most recent" when describing plural nouns and preceded by a definite article. It is the weak inflection of the adjective in the plural, appearing in phrases such as die neuesten Nachrichten or mit den neuesten Entwicklungen.

Usage in context

Neusten occurs with plural nouns after definite articles and signals that the items are the most recent. Examples include Die neuesten Nachrichten (the latest news), Wir verfolgen die neuesten Entwicklungen (We are following the most recent developments), and Sie kaufte die neuesten Bücher (She bought the newest books). In other cases, the form changes according to gender, number, and article: der neueste Mann (masculine singular), die neueste Nachricht (feminine singular), das neueste Modell (neuter singular). When there is no definite article, strong declension applies, yielding forms like neueste Nachrichten or neueste Bücher.

Etymology and related forms

The word neu- comes from the Germanic root for “new” and is closely related to the English word new. Related forms include neueste (singular, feminine or neuter) and neuester (masculine singular). The ending -sten in neusten is part of the standard plural weak inflection after a definite article.
