Questions & Answers about Jeder Passagier genießt die schöne Aussicht.
Why is it jeder and not jede or jedes?
The word for "every" (jeder) changes its ending to match the gender and case of the noun it describes. Since Passagier (passenger) is a masculine noun and is the subject of the sentence (Nominative case), it takes the masculine ending -er.
Why does the adjective schöne end in -e here?
In German, when an adjective comes after a definite article like die, it takes a "weak" ending. Since Aussicht (view) is a feminine noun in the Accusative case (it is the thing being enjoyed), the adjective ending is simply -e.
Is there a trick to knowing that Aussicht is a feminine noun?
Yes! Aussicht is made from aus (out) and Sicht (sight/view). Nouns ending in -t that are derived from verbs (like Sicht from sehen) are almost always feminine.
The verb is genießt. Is the infinitive form spelled with an ß or ss?
The infinitive is genießen (to enjoy), spelled with an ß (Eszett). A helpful spelling rule in German is to use ß after long vowel sounds (like the long "e" sound in "ie") and ss after short vowel sounds.
