German
Pronunciation
Noun
Muttern
- all-case plural of Mutter (“nut for a bolt”)
Noun
Muttern
- (archaic, dialectal, eastern Germany) strong dative/accusative singular of Mutter (“mum, mother”)
Usage notes
- The dialectal inflected form Muttern is (or was) applied in the dative and accusative cases when used without an article, i.e. in the sense of “mum”: Du sollst Muttern helfen. — “You're supposed to help Mum.” This was typical of eastern German dialects, including that of Berlin, but is now widely obsolete. A remnant of this is the phrase wie bei Muttern (“like Mum used to make”), which is in general use.
