Correction[edit]

The declension is wrong in the neuter akkusativ case! It should be "unser".

Corrected. Thanks for pointing it out! —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 16:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Order of cases[edit]

I think the table should have the more standard order "nominative, accusative, dative, genitive". Arjofocolovi (talk) 21:54, 5 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Arjofocolovi: All of our German declension tables use the NGDA order. I wouldn't want to change just this table without changing all of them, and I wouldn't want to change all of them without first getting consensus from the wider community of German-language editors. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:14, 6 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Angr: Well that doesn't seem accurate. For example this page is NADG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_adjectives. Or this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_articles. I'm sure there are some others out there. Arjofocolovi (talk) 08:22, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Arjofocolovi: Those are both Wikipedia articles. This is Wiktionary; we're independent of Wikipedia. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:56, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Angr: Oh, you're right. The question is, what makes this order at least as interesting as the natural one (aka, from most encountered by learners to least encountered)? I'm not going to go to war for this order, it's just that textbooks usually use NADG, same with online resources other than Wiktionary. Would be a bit more coherent and useful to use the same standard. Anyway, do with that what you want. Have a good one. Arjofocolovi (talk) 18:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
