determinerpronoun

solch

ein Wort, das auf etwas hinweist, das so ist oder auf die gleiche Art.

The German word "solch" is a determiner and pronoun meaning "such", "like that", or "of that kind". It refers to something previously mentioned or of a certain type.

  • It is not composed of smaller meaningful words but is related to demonstrative pronouns like "so" (so/thus).
  • Similar words include "derartig" (such), "dieser" (this), and "jener" (that).

Difference:

  • "solch" emphasizes the type or kind ("such a thing"), often pointing back to something mentioned.
  • "dieser" and "jener" are more specific demonstrative pronouns pointing to a particular object or person rather than a category.
  • "derartig" is formal and more abstract in expressing "of that kind".
