Pronunciation

[edit]drei
- (cardinal number) three (numerical value represented by the Arabic numeral 3; or describing a set with three elements)
- 1845, Carl von Holtei, Theater. In einem Bande, Breslau, page 370:
- Wenn also diese Küsse zu dem letzten
Gerechnet werden, ist die Summe drei,
Wie aller guten Dinge dreie sind.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Declension
[edit]- In adjectival use (that is, with a following noun):
- Nominative, dative, and accusative are always uninflected.
- The genitive case takes the form dreier if no article or pronoun is preceding: Vater dreier Kinder – “a father of three children”; but: der Vater der drei Kinder – “the father of the three children”. The form dreier is somewhat elevated; even in formal writing it is sometimes more natural to avoid it (Vater von drei Kindern).
- In substantival use (that is, without a following noun):
- Nominative and accusative are uninflected in the contemporary standard language. The form dreie still exists in colloquial German, chiefly in eastern Germany.
- The dative case may take the form dreien: Ich sprach mit dreien. – “I spoke with three (people).” This rule is usually observed in formal standard German; but when a specification in the genitive case (or with von) is following, the bare form is more common: Ich sprach mit drei der Zeugen. – “I spoke with three of the witnesses.” In colloquial German, dreien is never obligatory.
