Hidden article

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A hidden article is a term from the grammar of the German language.

Examples

This is an article that is drawn together with a preposition so that it can no longer be recognized as such, for example in the constructions im (in which), for (to which) and for (to which), e.g. . For example: "in the forest" - actually "in the forest". Also in (in), on (on), with (with), on (on) and through (through) contained hidden articles.

Emergence

The Duden for grammar writes: “If the article forms dem, den, das und der are only weakly stressed, they can be merged with some prepositions. This amalgamation has its origin in the spoken language [...] and in many cases it is no longer resolvable. ”In addition to numerous examples, it is given in war or breaking over one's knee .
