Should the suspects be written in upper or lower case?

Hi,

Is "suspect" capitalized or lowercase in the following sentences?

"Interrogation of suspect Mara Mustermann."

"…. the suspect will be instructed as a suspect in a child-friendly manner."

In my opinion, there is no clear answer in the first sentence: T/ suspects can be understood here as both a noun and an adjective; both seem grammatically possible.

In a small spell, an adjective (an attributive to the name) would be active. This use exists: The man is extremely active. The sentence would then have to be read in a similar way as: “Request of the beautiful Mara Patternmann.”

In a big letter, the essence of the phrase would be the noun (they) Suspected. The name would then be the attribute (an Apposition). Similarly, “The questioning of the baker Mara Patternmann.”

In principle, dominating an adjective. One can be active (predictive use), the active children can be grasped (attributive use), and someone can have seen a suspect (substantive use). Only in the latter case one writes big. This is, in principle, the same as any other adjective, only if I do not have an oral example of adverbial use.

But this adjective has a peculiarity: It is often used substantively, much more frequently than in other adjectives. This is so far as substantive use is actually the normal case. This is probably because the word rarely occurs outside the bureaucratic or legal jargons, and in this jargon, noun is in principle very common.

Interview of the suspect Mara Mustermann

This can be interpreted both substantively and adjectively. I would, however, in any case raise the question of ‘the suspects’ as a bureaucratic category, and the category is expressed by a noun. This is only because there is a name behind it; in other cases is mandatory to write, e.g. Survey of women who are suspected.

the suspect is instructed child-friendly as a suspect

Here, of course, only great writing is possible.

The suspected Mara pattern man. “The” refers to “Mara”, How is Mara? Dangerous. Like word. Little written.

The suspects. Nomen. Great.

Grammar is correct, but here it is meant differently. Enlargement is correct.

“The suspect, Mara Patternmann” would be written big.

In the first case big. It was also small, but here is probably
the noun.

In the second case both big.

Key words are always written big.

Nomen are always written big.

And ‘the suspect’ is a nom.

In the upper ‘the suspect Mara’ one could let both go through… but it is probably meant that ‘the suspects’ are used as noms and then the name behind them. Not that ‘actual’ is used as an adjective.

But not “The Suspected Mara.” Please look more closely.

I looked exactly. I also know that this is meant differently in reports and judgments that go in this direction.

This is not about the adjective ‘actual’, but it is spoken by ‘the suspect xy’.

In the judgment, if the name of the defendant is called, is the same.

The accused Harry Potter, the witness Ron Weasley and the other suspected Hermine Granger arrived in the courtroom.

Here you can see about the ‘more’ before the ‘Tat suspect’.

In the sentence “Conquest of the Suspected Mara Patternmann.” this is not a nom, but an attribute and MUSS are written down.

Thank you. I don’t think so.

Some people also speak with 90 still of Tu, Wie and Dingwort, others do it with 90 again.

Haha, I accidentally pushed “Damen up”. Don’t do anything. I still want to tell you that you’re not right here. “shy” in “the shy Simone” is clearly an adjective. But with “actual” both is possible, adjective or subjective adjective, the latter being more appropriate from the context:

  • the witness Adamow, the witness Kintscher, the suspect Simone and her nursing mother Hausmann
  • the dominating Young people Simone

The suspect here is not a ‘how-word’ (under the people of my age they call ‘adjective’), but a nomen.

Yes, you should. If you write “The Shy Simone” it would be just as a like-word as “The Suspected Mara” and therefore it would be wrong to write it big. How words are small to write. There is no “by all probability.” There are clear rules in spelling and they have to be applied.

Yeah, that’s big.

No, you wouldn’t.

Then you should use a comma. What doesn’t stand there.
