Definition in German
Ein Wort, das jedes einzelne Element einer Gesamtheit hervorhebt und attributiv vor einem Nomen im Singular steht; Formen: jeder, jede, jedes.
Word origin
German jeder, jede, jedes developed from Old High German forms through Middle High German, with gender and case inflection shaping the modern paradigm.
Usage tips
- Unlike English each, German jeder inflects for gender and case, so jede is the feminine singular form in the nominative or accusative.
