Etymology 1
[edit]From Middle High German morgen, from Old High German morgan, from Proto-West Germanic *morgan, from Proto-Germanic *murganaz, from Proto-Indo-European *merkʷ- (“to blink, twinkle”).
Compare Low German Morgen, Dutch morgen, West Frisian moarn, English morn, morrow, Danish morgen, Swedish morgon.
Noun
[edit]Morgen m (strong, genitive Morgens, plural Morgen or (colloquial) Morgende)
- morning (part of the day from dawn to noon)
- Synonym: Vormittag
- am Morgen ― in the morning
- am Morgen des 6. Dezember 2000 ― on the morning of the 6th December 2000
- gestern Morgen (also: gestern morgen) ― yesterday morning
- heute Morgen ― this morning
- (agriculture, dated) morgen (measure of land equivalent to two acres); (informal) acre (when speaking vaguely), a quarter of a hectare (specific)

Usage notes
[edit]- The normal plural is unchanged Morgen. The dialectal plural Morgende is formed under the influence of Abende (“evenings”). It is rather common colloquially but hardly ever used in literary German.
- Morgen includes the whole time of day between dawn and noon, though the time roughly between 9 a.m. and noon is often specified as Vormittag.
