| 12.11.2 Declination of jeder as noun |
The declination of jeder as a noun (in substantival use) is identical with the one in adjectival use - in opposite to kein, which has a slightly different declination. Often they are used instead of jeder in adejctival use.
| masculine | feminine | neutral | |
| Nominative | jeder | jede | jedes |
| Genitive | jedes | jeder | jedes |
| Dative | jedem | jeder | jedem |
| Akkusativ | jeden | jede | jedes |
Alle is used very often as a synonym
for jeder. Alle can only be used in plural form:
| masculine | feminine | neutral | |
| Nominative | alle | alle | alle |
| Genitive | aller | aller | aller |
| Dative | allen | allen | allen |
| Akkusativ | alle | alle | alle |
Again jeder
and alle can
be used similarly. Jeder
is used only in singular, alle
only in plural. The Genitive is almost never used
neither with jeder
nor with alle.
Jeder in substantival meaning means everyone
or everybody.
