Dictionary entries, alphabetical: Lager – Lautsprecher.
Maskulin Feminin Neutrum Plural
das Lager — camp
Plural: die Lager (unchanged — nouns already ending in "-er" don't add anything further). Beyond "camp," "Lager" also commonly means "warehouse" or "stock" (e.g. "etwas auf Lager haben" = to have something in stock) — the dictionary lists only the "camp" sense here.
Nom Das Lager liegt tief im Wald.
The camp lies deep in the forest.
das Lager (neutral) = camp · tief = deep · der Wald, ä-er = forest. "Das" — neutral Nominativ. Lager is the subject.
Akk Wo sollen wir unser Lager aufschlagen?
Where should we make our camp?
aufschlagen = to pitch/set up (separable). "Unser" — neutral Akkusativ possessive, unchanged from the Nominativ form. Lager is the direct object. The dictionary's own example, unchanged.
Dat Wir bleiben die ganze Nacht im Lager.
We stay the whole night at the camp.
bleiben = to stay · die ganze Nacht = the whole night (Akkusativ of duration). "Im" absorbs "dem" — neutral Dativ (das → dem) after "in" for a static location.
Nom Ein Lager liegt am Flussufer.
A camp lies on the riverbank.
das Flussufer, - = riverbank. "Ein" — no ending before neutral Nominativ, same as "das."
Akk Die Pfadfinder bauen ein Lager auf.
The scouts set up a camp.
der Pfadfinder, - = scout · aufbauen = to build/set up (separable). Neutral Akkusativ indefinite looks identical to Nominativ.
Dat Rotkreuz-Helfer verteilen Wasser in den Lagern.
Red Cross volunteers distribute water in the camps.
verteilen = to distribute. Plural Dativ: article "den"; Lager adds "-n" (Lager → Lagern) since it doesn't already end in -n or -s.
das Lamm — lamb
Plural: die Lämmer (umlaut + "-er," like "das Land" → "die Länder"). Bundled in the dictionary's entry: der Lammschinken = leg of lamb, given its own entry next. "Lamm" also appears in the Christian phrase "das Lamm Gottes" (the Lamb of God) and in "das Osterlamm," a lamb-shaped Easter cake. The dictionary's own example: "Die Lämmer bleiben in der Nähe ihrer Mutter." (The lambs stay close to their mothers — corrected from the OCR-garbled "Lammer" and "Nahe.")
Nom Das Lamm springt fröhlich über die Wiese.
The lamb hops happily across the meadow.
das Lamm (neutral) = lamb · fröhlich = happily · die Wiese, -n = meadow. "Das" — neutral Nominativ. Lamm is the subject.
Akk Der Hirte trägt das Lamm auf den Armen.
The shepherd carries the lamb in his arms.
der Hirte, -n (weak noun) = shepherd · tragen = to carry. Neutral Akkusativ keeps the same form as Nominativ (das → das). Lamm is the direct object.
Dat Die Bäuerin gibt dem Lamm frische Milch.
The farmer gives the lamb fresh milk.
die Bäuerin, -nen = farmer (f.) · geben = to give · die Milch = milk. "Dem" because neutral Dativ (das → dem). Lamm is the indirect object.
Nom Ein Lamm blökt laut im Stall.

neugeboren = newborn · die Weide, -n = pasture. Neutral Akkusativ indefinite looks identical to Nominativ.
Dat Der Schäfer bleibt bei den jungen Lämmern in der Nähe des Hofes.
The shepherd stays close to the young lambs near the farm.
der Schäfer, - = shepherd · bei + Dativ = near/with · der Hof, ö-e = farm. Plural Dativ: article "den"; Lamm takes an umlaut and adds "-n" (Lamm → Lämmer → Lämmern). Adapted from the dictionary's own example ("Die Lämmer bleiben in der Nähe ihrer Mutter" — Nominativ plural), recast here into Dativ.
der Lammschinken — leg of lamb
A compound of "das Lamm" (lamb) + "der Schinken" (ham/leg) — plural die Lammschinken (unchanged, like "der Wagen" → "die Wagen"). Less common on German tables than "der Schweineschinken" (pork ham), but a classic Easter or spring dish. Bundled with "Lamm, das" in the dictionary's entry.
Nom Der Lammschinken duftet herrlich aus dem Ofen.
The leg of lamb smells wonderful from the oven.
duften = to smell (pleasantly) · herrlich = wonderfully · der Ofen, ö- = oven. "Der" — maskulin Nominativ. Lammschinken is the subject.
Akk Meine Mutter brät den Lammschinken für das Osterfest.

Dat Wir servieren Kartoffeln zu dem Lammschinken.
We serve potatoes with the leg of lamb.
servieren = to serve · die Kartoffel, -n = potato · zu + Dativ = with/alongside. "Dem" because maskulin Dativ (der → dem).

Akk Der Metzger empfiehlt uns einen Lammschinken für vier Personen.

Dat Der Markt bietet günstige Preise bei den Lammschinken diese Woche.
The market has good prices on legs of lamb this week.
bieten = to offer · günstig = good/favorable (of a price). Plural Dativ: article "den"; "Lammschinken" already ends in "-n," so no further ending is added — the same pattern as "der Wagen."
das Land — land; country; countryside
Plural: die Länder (umlaut + "-er"). Bundled in the dictionary's entry: landen = to land, and die Landung = landing, both given their own entries next. Fixed idiom: "auf dem Land" = in the countryside (demonstrated below). The dictionary also gives a plural example, Akkusativ: "Welche Länder haben Sie schon besucht?" (What countries have you visited? — OCR dropped the umlaut here too.)

Dat Mein Großvater wohnt auf dem Land.
My grandfather lives in the country.
der Großvater, ä- = grandfather · wohnen = to live. "Auf dem Land" — a fixed idiom meaning "in the countryside." "Dem" because neutral Dativ (das → dem), a static location. The dictionary's own example, corrected from the OCR-garbled "Mem" → "Mein" and "GroBvater" → "Großvater."

Akk Sie besucht jedes Jahr ein neues Land.

Dat Der Reisepass gilt in vielen Ländern Europas.
The passport is valid in many countries of Europe.
der Reisepass, ä-e = passport · gelten = to be valid. Plural Dativ: article implied by "vielen"; Land takes an umlaut and adds "-n" (Land → Länder → Ländern), the same pattern as the dictionary's own plural example, "Welche Länder haben Sie schon besucht?"
landen — to land
Regular (weak) verb — ich lande, du landest, er landet — but takes "sein" as its auxiliary in the Perfekt (ist gelandet), like other verbs of motion/change of state. Bundled in the dictionary's entry alongside "Land, das."

das Flugzeug, -e = airplane · pünktlich = on time. Present tense, "er/es"-form: landet.

sicher = safely · gestern Abend = last night. Perfekt with "sein" (ist/sind gelandet), not "haben."
die Landung — landing
Plural: die Landungen. Formed from "landen" (to land) + the noun suffix "-ung," the same pattern that turns "bewegen" (to move) into "die Bewegung" (movement). Bundled with "Land, das" and "landen" in the dictionary's entry.
Nom Die Landung verläuft ohne Probleme.
The landing goes off without problems.
die Landung (feminin) = landing · verlaufen = to go/proceed · das Problem, -e = problem. "Die" — feminin Nominativ. Landung is the subject.
Akk Die Passagiere spüren die Landung kaum.
The passengers barely feel the landing.

Nom Eine sanfte Landung beruhigt die ängstlichen Passagiere.
A smooth landing calms the anxious passengers.
sanft = smooth/gentle · beruhigen = to calm · ängstlich = anxious. "Eine" — feminin Nominativ indefinite; no ending change from the "die" pattern.
Akk Der Pilot übt eine schwierige Landung im Simulator.

es kommt zu + Dativ = it results in/leads to · holprig = bumpy. Plural Dativ: the plural "Landungen" already ends in "-n," so no further ending is added.
die Landkarte — map
Plural: die Landkarten. More specific than the general word "die Karte," which can also mean "card" or "ticket" — "Landkarte" always means a map of land/territory.
Nom Die Landkarte von Frankreich hängt an der Wand.
The map of France hangs on the wall.
die Landkarte (feminin) = map · hängen = to hang · die Wand, ä-e = wall. "Die" — feminin Nominativ. Landkarte is the subject. Adapted from the dictionary's own example (originally "eine Landkarte") to show the definite article; OCR also dropped the umlaut in "hängt" here.

langsam — slow; slowly
Works as both adjective and adverb without changing form, the same pattern as most German adjectives (unlike English, which usually adds "-ly").
Dieser langsame Zug wird uns verspätet ankommen lassen.
This slow train will make us late.
der Zug, ü-e = train · verspätet = late/delayed · ankommen = to arrive. "Langsame" — weak adjective ending "-e" after "dieser." The dictionary's own example, corrected from the OCR-garbled "verspatet" → "verspätet."

lassen — to let; to allow; to leave
The dictionary's headword line for this entry didn't survive OCR — only a badly garbled conjugation table did — but the pattern (identical in layout to "laufen" below) and the example sentence make it clearly "lassen." Strong verb, stem change a → ä: ich lasse, du lässt, er lässt, wir lassen, ihr lasst, sie lassen. Often combines with a bare infinitive to mean "to let (someone do something)," as in the example below.
Werden deine Eltern uns länger bleiben lassen?
Will your parents let us stay longer?
die Eltern (Pl.) = parents · bleiben = to stay. "Bleiben lassen" — "lassen" + a bare infinitive means "to let (someone) do something." The dictionary's own example, corrected from the OCR-garbled "langer" → "länger."

(My wife is in a bad mood today.)
