Proper noun
[edit]Mutter f (proper noun, genitive Mutters or Mutter)
Usage notes
[edit]- Chiefly in north-eastern regions, there used to be a colloquial practice of adding -(e)n to proper nouns in the dative and accusative cases: ein Geschenk für Muttern (“a present for Mother”). This is now chiefly archaic or humorous. However, the phrase wie bei Muttern (“like Mum used to make”, of food) has entered general use.
