Added a quotation mark to the plural form of Rechtsanwalt, so that it now reads der Rechtsanwalt; -"e.

266

Made der Vorsitzende into a weak noun: der Vorsitzende -n -n . Of course the plural female form only uses one n, and that on the dative plural: die Vorsitzende -n .

There is some question regarding the plural of the word die Zukunft. Dict.cc and some other dictionaries do not show a plural form for this word other than Termingeschäft, but Ligure.com does, and it denotes the plural form as die Zukünfte, so I’ve changed the answer to “the future” to die Zukunft "e.

268

But that way you’ve missed out the umlaut on the second “u” of “Zukunft”, just FYI.

Hi Amanda
It is a bit confusing, but I actually did do it correctly. The quotation mark in die Zukunft "e denotes that there is an umlaut in the plural form, or: die ZukĂźnfte.

OOPS!!! I didn’t know about that convention and honestly just saw a single apostrophe.

Dictionary abbreviations are cool :slight_smile:

Changed the question from “in the middle” to “in the middle of” and the answer from “mitten” to “inmitten”.

276

Added a fourth form to the series for “some”: mancher, manchen, manches, manche

277

Apparently Memrise cannot handle four terms in a series unless you answer in the exactly same order as the answer. So I changed the question to “some, many a (not irgendeine, einige, irgendwas, etwas)” and the answer to the single term “manche”.

278

Changed the plural form of Werkstatt to require the umlauting of the letter “a”, as in die Werkstatt; -"en.

Changed the definition of “die Bekannte” to “the female acquaintance (not Freundin), acquaintances of either sex” (no further plural).

281

Changed the plural form of “Konto” to “Konten” although “Kontos” is occasionally used.

282

You could put in hidden alternatives with every possible ordering if you really had time to kill!

Dylan, I am a bit confused because I found another series of words that do work properly. I am also finding other words where when I answer incorrectly, Memrise accepts my wrong answer as correct.

Added a plural form to the word “der Rest”, which is “die Reste”.
