dä

• IPA^(key): /dɛ(ː)/

dä (definite, full)

1. (Ripuarian) masculine nominative and accusative
2. (Ripuarian) feminine dative
3. (some dialects of Ripuarian) plural dative

• The reduced form of dä is der, in some dialects also de.
• Westernmost Ripuarian has no case distinctions in articles. Only nominative forms are relevant for these dialects.

dä

1. (Ripuarian) this (one), that (one)

• In most dialects, this pronoun inflects just like the article, except that the plural dative is always däne, never dä.
• In westernmost Ripuarian, the pronoun, unlike the article, does show case distinctions. The object case of the masculine is döm or däm. For the feminine, neuter and plural there exist the dative forms dör, döm (däm), and dönne. These latter are non-obligatory in all dialects and now probably unused in the Netherlands.
