Questions & Answers about Die Antwort ist richtig.
Why is Antwort capitalized?
In German every noun is capitalized, so Antwort gets an uppercase A even in the middle of a sentence.
How do I know to use the article die with Antwort?
Antwort is a feminine noun (die Antwort). In nominative singular, all feminine nouns take die.
Which grammatical case is die Antwort in this sentence?
It’s in the nominative case because it functions as the subject of the verb ist.
Why doesn’t the adjective richtig have an ending?
Here richtig is a predicate adjective following the linking verb sein. Predicate adjectives are not inflected in German, so you use the base form richtig, not richtige.
Can I use korrekt instead of richtig?
Yes. korrekt is a synonym for richtig. You can say Die Antwort ist korrekt, although richtig is more common in everyday speech.
