Migrant experiences: noun suffixes, ‘welch-’

When [ie] is part of the final syllable in a word and is stressed, then [i] is a long vowel. When [ie] is part of the final but unstressed syllable in a word, pronounce [i] and [e] as separate vowel sounds. The suffix '-keit' is added to adjectives or adverbs to form nouns corresponding to English nouns ending '-ty', '-ness'. 'Weder... noch' (neither... nor) negates two things, avoiding repetition, e.g. 'Er spricht weder Englisch noch Deutsch'. 'Welch-' means 'which' and its form matches noun gender and case. Use dative case with certain prepositions or verbs.
