Frequently asked questions
How do you form the feminine version of nouns ending in -er in German?
In German, many masculine nouns denoting professions or roles (like 'Empfänger') form their feminine counterpart by adding the suffix '-in'. This often triggers an umlaut if the root vowel is a, o, or u (e.g., 'Bäcker' to 'Bäckerin', though 'Empfänger' remains 'Empfängerin'). The plural is formed by adding '-nen' (Empfängerinnen).
