The accusative case is used for the direct object of a sentence — the person or thing that receives the action. In this lesson, you will learn how adjective endings change in the accusative. The good news: only the masculine forms change from the nominative. Feminine, neuter, and plural endings remain the same.
| Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weak (after den/die/das) | -en | -e | -e | -en |
| Mixed (after einen/eine/ein) | -en | -e | -es | -en |
| Strong (no article) | -en | -e | -es | -e |
Compare with nominative — only the masculine column changes:
| Nominative Masc. | Accusative Masc. | |
|---|---|---|
| Weak | -e | -en |
| Mixed | -er | -en |
| Strong | -er | -en |
All three declension types use -en for masculine accusative. This is one of the easiest patterns to remember.
