Questions & Answers about Würden Sie fünfzig Milligramm Lavendel für diesen einzigartigen Duft hinzufügen?
Why is it fünfzig Milligramm instead of a plural form like "Milligramme"?
Where is the translation for "of" in "fifty milligrams of lavender"?
German doesn't use a preposition here. When expressing a quantity of a substance, you simply place the substance directly after the measurement unit. So "fifty milligrams of lavender" is just fünfzig Milligramm Lavendel.
Why does diesen einzigartigen Duft have the -en ending on both the "dies-" word and the adjective?
The preposition für always forces the following noun into the accusative case. Since Duft (scent) is a masculine noun (der Duft), both the demonstrative pronoun (diesen) and the adjective (einzigartigen) need the masculine accusative -en ending.
hinzufügen is a separable verb. Why aren't the parts separated here?
Because this sentence uses Würden (Would) as a helping verb. Just like with modal verbs (can, must, etc.), würden pushes the main verb to the very end of the sentence in its full, unseparated infinitive form: hinzufügen.
