- (dated) genitive plural of de; of the.
- het koninkrijk der Nederlanden ― the kingdom of the Netherlands

Usage notes[edit]
- Only the nominative forms are common in modern usage. Accusative and dative forms are archaic and limited to fixed expressions. Genitive forms, while still productive and regiolectal, are not part of the standardized varieties and mainly reserved for poetic and literary language. They are also found as part of surnames.
- * The current pronunciation is a spelling pronunciation. Before the word became archaic, it was pronounced with a schwa, /dər/.

German[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle High German der, from Old High German der, ther, replacing the original masculine and feminine nominative forms from Proto-Germanic *sa, by analogy with the adjective inflection. Compare also Old Dutch thie and Old English þē where the same process occurred.
Pronunciation[edit]
- IPA(key): /deːr/
- IPA(key): [deːɐ̯] (stressed)
- IPA(key): [dɛɐ̯], [dɐ] (unstressed)
- IPA(key): [də] (unstressed, some dialects, feminine article only)
audio (file) - Rhymes: -eːɐ̯
- In colloquial speech in Germany, the /d/ can assimilate to a preceding coronal when the word is unstressed.
