![]() ![]() Wir können uns selber kitzeln und dabei genau dieselben Empfindungen haben, als wenn wir von jemand anderes gekitzelt würden ( 4) For instance, in the accusative and dative:ĭer Mensch sieht in jedem Übelbefinden und Mißgeschick etwas, wofür er irgend jemand anderes leiden lassen muß ( 3) However, there are also forms invariably ending in -es, similar to niemand Geringeres and wen Nettes above. Und erzählte ihr alles, mehr als sie je irgend jemand anderem erzählt hatte ( 2) Oder daß einer ein Kleinod mit einem Bildnis finde, welches vermutlich jemand anderer vorher verloren hat ( 1) er in the nominative and -em in the dative: A (nominalised) adjective in apposition to a masculine pronoun such as jemand should show the strong masculine singular ending, e.g. Historically speaking, ander- is an adjective (the ‑er‑ is in fact the comparative ending). Ich hab gestern wen Nettes kennengelernt. Some similar constructions:ĭas sagt niemand Geringeres als die Kanzlerin selbst. Grammatically, ander‑ stands in apposition to the pronoun jemand. To avoid this hassle, you could use the invariable adverb anders with jemand, niemand and wer (but not with etwas): Same is possible with the pronouns niemand or wer: Sometimes forms of jemand with endings are used: ![]() In other contextes, we might need the accusative (which has the same ending) or the genitive or dative (which have separate endings): In your examples, the whole phrase indefinite pronoun + apposition is a predicative nominative as required by the verb sein. As 'close' apposition, the case of anderes needs to be congruent with the syntactical function of jemand or etwas, respectively, even if they themselves remain without ending. But as we saw, it is an apposition instead. You expected an endingless form because you assumed it was a predicative adjective. Since jemand and etwas are indefinite, we need to use the 'strong' form anderes here. Maybe the reason for your confusion is that there are two nominative neuter singular forms of anderes: the 'weak' (as das andere Haus, das Andere) and the 'strong' ( ein andere s Haus, ein Andere s). The Duden-Grammatik (§ 1586) identifies it as perceived as nominative 'or' accusative neuter, but also states that it was a genitive form originally. It is an apposition to the indefinite pronouns jemand and etwas, respectively: Anderes is a (probably substantivated) adjective (indefinite base forms: anderer/andere/anderes). ![]()
