Hi, I was just wondering what the (r, s, n, m) means?
It’s just my attempt to indicate that the word gets all kinds of endings and this entry is for all versions.
– manche
– mancher
– manches
– ….
Hope that helps!
Dear sir,
I would like to know if “Manch” can be followed by a singular or plural and be used in singular and plural form in the same manner of “Einig”.
You can say
or
For “einig-” that doesn’t really work for singular though. Could you give me an example what you had in mind there.
Also: super big apology for the late reply. No idea why I missed this comments.
Manche vs einige – when to use which
In a nutshell, “manche” sounds less than “einige”.
If your focus is on the idea of “minority” then “manche” is the better pick.
That’s helpful! I would love to read something about different words to qualify “some” of a given noun. I find it pretty confusing myself, the different words and which to use… (einige, manche, etwas/etwa, ein paar, ein bisschen…)
Nice idea, I’ll add it to my topic list (no promises though) :)
