German[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Middle High German kaste, from Old High German kasto, from Proto-West Germanic *kastō.
Noun[edit]
Kasten m (strong, genitive Kastens, plural Kästen or (obsolete) Kasten, diminutive Kästchen n or Kästlein n)
- crate (e.g. for bottles)
- (regional, Germany) box, case
- (regional, Switzerland, Austria and parts of Southern Germany) cupboard
Usage notes[edit]
- The normal plural is Kästen; the unchanged plural Kasten is now widely obsolete. (In the 19th century, however, the umlaut form was still deprecated as “wrong”, for example in Grimm's Deutsches Wörterbuch.)
