sechsseitigen

Sechsseitigen is the inflected form of the German adjective sechsseitig, meaning “having six sides.” It is used to describe objects, shapes or figures that possess six sides, such as polygons, polyhedra or dice.

Etymology and usage notes: The base sechsseitig combines sechs (six) with seitig (sided). The form sechsseitigen appears in various grammatical contexts, for example mit einem sechsseitigen Polygon (dative singular) or die sechsseitigen Würfel (nominative plural). In many technical or educational texts, more common terms such as Sechseck (six-sided polygon) or sechseckig (six-angled) may be preferred, but sechsseitig remains a valid descriptive form when the emphasis is on the side count.

Context and examples: In mathematics and geometry, sechsseitig describes shapes or objects with six sides or faces. A standard die can be described as ein sechsseitiger Würfel; when referring to multiple dice, die sechsseitigen Würfel. The term also appears in design or specification contexts where precise side counts matter, though specialists often use sechseckig or Sechseck for clarity about the shape itself.

Related terms: Sechseck, sechseckig, hexagonal, seisflächig (six-faced), and Sechsseitigkeit as the noun form referring to the property of having six sides. Declension follows standard German adjective endings according to case, number, and definiteness.
