Exercise of diminutive nouns in German
Fill in the missing diminutive!
Recap:
The diminutive is built by adding the suffixes -chen or -lein to the ending of a noun. The gender of all diminutives is neuter. Like all nouns, diminutives have to be adapted to their case. Diminutive nouns don't have a additional ending in plural.
1. Transform the noun in the brackets to a diminutive noun with the ending -lein.
huscht ins Loch. (Maus, Nominative)
(The little mouse scurries into the hole.)
Gib die Hand. (Zicke, Dative)
(Give the miss the hand.)
steht auf der Wiese. (Schaf, Nominative)
(The sheep is in the meadow.)
Loch ist im Keller. (Maus, Genitive)
(The hole of the mouse is in the basement.)
Ich mag . (Buch, Accusative)
(I like the little book.)
