'nen
- (colloquial) Contraction of einen (“a, an”); accusative masculine singular of 'n
Usage notes
- The form is sometimes seen in informal writing, but is not all too common in actual speech because einen tends to be further contracted to merge with 'n. Thus: Ich will ’n Kaffee. ("I want a coffee.") alongside rarer: Ich will ’nen Kaffee.
