wöchentlichen

Wöchentlichen is an inflected form of the German adjective wöchentlich, meaning weekly. It is used before a noun in attributive position and is not a standalone word in typical sentences. Like other adjectives, its ending changes to agree with gender, number, and case.

Grammatical notes: In German, adjectives decline after articles or determiners. The form wöchentlichen appears in several common contexts, especially with definite determiners. Examples include masculine and neuter dative singular (dem wöchentlichen Termin or dem wöchentlichen Meeting) and plural forms with a definite article (die wöchentlichen Termine). It also occurs in genitive contexts (des wöchentlichen Termins for masculine singular; der wöchentlichen Termine for genitive plural) and in the feminine with appropriate endings (der wöchentlichen Aufgabe in the dative/genitive singular). The base form wöchentlich means “weekly” and is used adverbially without declension (e.g., Die Meetings finden wöchentlich statt).

Usage examples:

- Den wöchentlichen Termin habe ich heute bestätigt. (accusative singular, masculine)

- Wir treffen uns die wöchentlichen Termine jeden Freitag. (nominative plural)

- Der wöchentlichen Termins Planung wurde genehmigt. (genitive singular)

- Der wöchentlichen Termine Pläne wurden aktualisiert. (genitive plural)
