Talk:welcher

You cannot use the word being defined in the definition. (Example: Welcher - someone who welches.)  That does not define the word.


 * The word welches links you to the definition of the verb. SemperBlotto 11:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

German "welcher"
One widespread meaning is missing: The determiner "ein" and its single pronoun variant "einer" lack forms for the plural and uncountable nouns, since they are by origin the cardinal number "1". The missing forms are replaced by forms of "welcher" in the usage as a single pronoun without nouns/Substantiv or adjective (be it a pronoun with an antecedent combining the latter's meaning with a sense of indefiniteness or a indefinite pronoun without an antecedent, in this case meaning "jemand") and in the intensified indefinite determiner and pronoun. Further, that use "welches" sounds quite rare to a native speaker, at least in this example here not really wrong. But I would probably just say "Was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe". 2A0A:A540:9686:0:C09E:92E6:6B2A:A1FC 18:00, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
