sorgfältigem

Sorgfältigem is the dative singular masculine or neuter form of the German adjective "sorgfältig". The adjective "sorgfältig" translates to careful, diligent, thorough, or meticulous in English. It describes a person or an action that is performed with great attention to detail and without haste or carelessness. When used in the dative case, it modifies a masculine or neuter noun that follows a preposition or verb requiring the dative case, or it acts as a predicate adjective after certain verbs. For example, one might say "Er hat mit sorgfältigem Planen Erfolg gehabt" (He had success with careful planning). In this sentence, "sorgfältigem" modifies the masculine noun "Planen" (planning) and is in the dative case due to the preposition "mit". The concept of "sorgfältig" implies a conscious effort to avoid errors and to achieve a high standard of quality. It is often associated with tasks requiring precision, expertise, or significant consequences. The opposite of "sorgfältig" would be "nachlässig" (careless) or "unachtsam" (inattentive).
