Significant or "strong" adjective endings correspond to those of the der-word noun modifiers. These endings indicate the gender and case of the noun the adjective modifies.
| Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Nominative Accusative Dative Genitive |
-er -en -em -en |
-e -e -er -er |
-es -es -em -en |
-e -e -en -er |
For the genitive masculine and neuter, the adjective ending is -en rather than -es, because the noun carries a "strong" ending.
