Strong declension in the genitive?
Good day!
I wanted to ask: what is the genitive form for strong declension in German?
Wikipedia says that instead of "s," you add "en." Is that true?
So instead of "old king" do you say "old king"?
Best regards

Hello, my wife has been suffering from gingivitis for months that won't go away. She's been to various doctors and dentists, but the treatment only brings temporary relief: The inflammation doesn't completely go away and flares up again later. It's not due to poor oral and dental hygiene. She brushes her teeth after every meal….
Maybe someone can give me tips
I was supposed to pick out my daughter's clothes for my partner. My statement was to my partner: I prepare everything. According to my partner, that's wrong, and according to him, you say, "I prepare everything." So is it really wrong to say, "I prepare everything?" That would be new to me.
A legalized alternative to dumpster diving is so-called food sharing. Foodsavers visit many supermarkets and collect expired products or open packaging before they end up in the trash, then distribute them to neighborhoods, homeless people, refugee shelters, etc. It's important to ensure the food is of good quality. Is this all grammatically correct? And how…
My son is taking his German Abitur exam tomorrow, and I'm racking my brains about how it will go. I'm worried and hopeful. How can I finally find peace…?
I've heard that people in the Middle Ages had a completely different definition of freedom. What did they mean by that?
I’m not quite sure what you’re playing at now, but I guess you mean that in the case of substantive specific declination, it must be:
the hero – the hero / the student – the student
The correct genitive form is “the old king”.
But I’m talking about the strong declaration. So not “the black tea”, but “black tea”.
You can’t leave the article with King. Tea isn’t countable, it’s something else.
Hoffmann goes both with or without “the”. The first quote is creepy to me. I’ve never heard that reality has a rank. You should know the connection.
I know. Here is, for example, a quote: “…The reality of small ranges…”. Shouldn’t it be called “The Reality of the Low Range”? Mr. writer was uneducated.
Or by Hoffmann: “fully deep horror” and not “full horror”. Why?
In the case of a strong declination, there is no article in front of the adjective. For countable things or persons (a king, two kings, three kings) there must be an article (the king, the king). Then there is no strong declination.
“The crown of the old king!” Yes, “old king” is not said in any way!
“the old king” is right, “the old king” is wrong.
By the way, you say “previous year” and “next year”, but it’s wrong “this year”, but it’s right “this year”. This has to do with saying “the previous year” and “the next year”, but not “of this year”. Many do this wrong and falsely say “this year”.
That’s what I thought. But I was surprised when I saw on Wikipedia snders: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Deklination#Regulations_f%Cr_die_Bildung_der_Deklinationsformen?wprov=sfla1
