German Declinator
A tool to master German word endings and grammatical cases.
I developed this website specifically for my students—I've been a German teacher since 2018—and the goal of this project was to help them find the correct word endings in German. This addresses one of the most challenging aspects of German grammar for learners.
The tool emerged from seeing my students consistently struggle with German declination, which is fundamentally different from English and many other languages they might know.
In German, articles, adjectives, and even nouns get different endings depending on the case. That's very different from English, where nouns almost never change their endings. And in other languages like Spanish or French, grammatical cases don't really play a major role either.
The Problem
German learners have to constantly think about word endings because they change depending on the context—kind of like how verbs are conjugated in English, but much more complex.
The Solution
This tool helps people learning German figure out the correct endings in different grammatical situations.
Four Grammatical Cases
Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, and Genitiv—each requiring different word endings for articles, adjectives, and sometimes nouns.
Multiple Word Types Affected
Unlike English where only pronouns change (he/him/his), German changes articles (der/den/dem), adjectives, and sometimes nouns.
Context-Dependent Changes
The same word can have different endings depending on its role in the sentence, making it a constant mental challenge for learners.
German Language Students
Learners at beginner to intermediate levels who are struggling with German case system and word endings.
German Teachers
Educators looking for interactive tools to help their students practice declination outside of class.
Self-Directed Learners
Independent learners who want to master one of German's most challenging grammatical concepts.
