German 6, Level 5 - "Wir sind nicht der gleichen Meinung" - Why is it "der"?

Hello memrise comunity,

I have a question regarding this german sentence: “Wir sind nicht der gleichen Meinung”.

If “Meinung” is feminine, why isn’t it “Wir sind nicht die gleichen Meinung”?

Best regards,
J

Hi joelmelao,

It’s because it is the second case, i.e. the genitive, which is formed using “der” here. And, well, you can trust me for that matter as German is my mother tongue :slight_smile:
