Questions & Answers about Ist deine Mitgliedschaft noch gültig?
Why is it deine Mitgliedschaft and not dein Mitgliedschaft?
Mitgliedschaft is a feminine noun, so the possessive pronoun takes the feminine ending -e in the nominative case (deine). A great trick to remember this: every German noun ending in the suffix -schaft (which often translates to "-ship" in English) is always feminine!
What are the parts that make up the word Mitgliedschaft?
It comes from das Mitglied (the member) and the suffix -schaft (-ship). So it directly mirrors the English word "membership". Interestingly, das Mitglied itself is made of mit (with) and das Glied (limb or link), picturing a person as a link in a group's chain.
Is the word gültig related to a verb?
Yes! The adjective gültig (valid) comes from the strong verb gelten (to be valid, to count). You might also recognize it in the noun form die Gültigkeit (the validity).
Why is noch placed right before gültig?
In German, adverbs like noch (still) generally sit right before the adjective they are modifying. Placing it right before gültig emphasizes that the ongoing condition is the validity itself.
