der

  1. (archaic) genitive singular feminine of de; of the
    geschiedenis der Nederlandsche taalhistory of the Dutch language
  2. (archaic) genitive plural of de; of the
    het koninkrijk der Nederlandenthe kingdom of the Netherlands
  3. (archaic) dative singular feminine of de
Usage notes
  • The distinction of the dative case, which had long been frail and without any basis in actual speech, widely fell out of use over the course of the 19th century. The genitive case, chiefly of the plural, was still productively used in written style in the latter half of the 20th century, especially in order to avoid reduplication of van. However, it has since continuously lost ground and is now reserved to poetic and highly literary language (apart from fixed expressions and surnames).
  • The current pronunciation is a spelling pronunciation. Before the word became archaic, it was pronounced with a schwa, /dər/. The original pronunciation with a schwa survives in dialects, e.g. Ripuarian (where the word may be spelled d'r).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /deːr/, [deːɐ̯], [dɛɐ̯], [dɐ]
  • The most common pronunciation is [dɛɐ̯], which is possible in all contexts. The form [deːɐ̯] may be used when the word is stressed. The reduced form [dɐ] occurs chiefly after prepositions and conjunctions. In northern and central German vernaculars, the /d/ may then assimilate to any preceding consonant; so in der, auf der may become [ˈɪnɐ], [ˈaʊ̯fɐ].

Etymology 1

From Middle High German der.

In the masculine singular, der was originally nominative and den was accusative. This case distinction, which still exists in Standard German, was then lost in Luxembourgish. Why the form der was reassigned to usage with taboo words seems unexplained.
