Show transcript
Infinitive verbs can be turned into nouns and correspond to English '-ing' nouns, e.g., 'das Lesen' - 'reading'. Infinitives as nouns are capitalised and are always neuter. They can be used with or without 'das'. The suffix '-ung' is added to the stem of some verbs to form nouns, e.g., 'die Entscheidung'. They are always feminine. Nouns ending in '-ung' have the equivalent and transparent meaning of the verb, e.g., 'lösen' becomes 'Lösung'.
