Common Mistakes

  • Der haben viele neue Titel.

    ‘Der’ is the masculine singular article; the correct demonstrative pronoun for a plural group is ‘die’.

  • Die haben viele neuen Titel.

    After ‘viele’, the adjective takes the weak ending -e, not the strong -en.

  • Die hat viele neue Titel.

    For a singular subject you would need ‘hat’; here the subject is plural, so ‘haben’ is correct.

Alternatives

  • Sie besitzen zahlreiche neue Titel.

    They own numerous new titles.

  • Es gibt bei ihnen viele neue Titel.

    There are many new titles with them.

  • Bei ihnen gibt es viele neue Titel.

    There are many new titles with them.

Cultural Tip

In German, adjectives after quantifiers like 'viele', 'einige', or 'wenige' take the weak ending -e (neue) regardless of gender or number. Also, 'die' as a demonstrative pronoun is capitalised only at the start of a sentence; otherwise it stays lower‑case, unlike the definite article which is always lower‑case in the middle of a sentence.
