Common questions
This table lists 202 German adjectives across A1, A2, and B1 — sortable by level so you can start with the most frequent ones for your CEFR level.
Most adjectives add -er for the comparative (schnell → schneller) and take am + -sten for the superlative (am schnellsten). Many one-syllable adjectives with a, o, or u also add an umlaut (kalt → kälter → am kältesten). See our full breakdown on the comparison grammar page.
A small number of adjectives (like tot "dead" or leer used absolutely) are not gradable — they describe an all-or-nothing state, so German does not form a comparative or superlative for them. This list shows only the base form for those words.
German adjectives take different endings depending on the noun's gender, case, and whether an article precedes them (ein guter Mann, der gute Mann, gutes Wetter). See our adjective endings grammar guide and interactive drill for the full pattern.
