"A red apple"

Translation: Ein roter Apfel

[masterpradip]

Why roter and not rotes?

[az_p]

Short version: Because it's der Apfel, the -er needs to show up somewhere.

How do I upvote this twice

[northernguy]

Give a lingot instead. That way you don't distort the vote count.

[fclmfan]

Sounds good. I was on mobile and either there's no option to give a lingot from mobile or I was being blind. Thanks!

[northernguy]

Yeah, the mobile app is pretty limited. I've never used it but everybody keeps saying that they can't find all kinds of features when using it.

You have to wait until someone else upvotes it and yours is not the most recent upvote.

why einen roten apfel not okay?

[Anita107177]

The apple is the subject not the object of the sentance. Nithing is happening to it.
