zehnjährig

zehnjährig is a German adjective that translates to "ten-year-old" in English. It is used to describe something or someone that has reached the age of ten years or has lasted for ten years.

The adjective can be applied to people, animals, or inanimate objects. For instance, one might refer to a "zehnjährig" child, meaning a child who is ten years old. Similarly, a "zehnjährig" dog would be a dog ten years of age. The term can also be used to describe the duration of something. A "zehnjährig" friendship would be a friendship that has lasted for ten years.

In a more formal context, "zehnjährig" can appear in legal or administrative documents to specify an age requirement or a period of time. For example, a program might have a "zehnjährig" participation requirement.

The word is formed by combining the German numeral "zehn" (ten) with the adjective suffix "-jährig," which indicates a duration or age in years. This grammatical structure is common in German for forming adjectives related to age or time periods, such as "fünfjährig" (five-year-old) or "zwanzigjährig" (twenty-year-old).
