✕Common Mistakes
Der gute Kreditwürdigkeit ist praktisch.
‘Kreditwürdigkeit’ is feminine, so the article must be ‘eine’, not ‘der’.
Eine guter Kreditwürdigkeit ist praktisch.
After the indefinite article the adjective takes the weak ending ‘-e’, not ‘-er’.
Eine gute Kreditwürdigkeit ist wirklich praktisch.
While grammatically correct, ‘wirklich’ loses the informal tone of ‘echt’; use ‘echt’ for casual speech.

Cultural Tip
In Germany, Austria and Switzerland the Schufa (or similar credit bureaus) plays a central role in everyday financial life. A high credit score can speed up loan approvals, lower interest rates, and even affect the ability to rent an apartment. Because ‘echt’ is colloquial, keep it for informal conversations with friends; in a business meeting you’d replace it with ‘wirklich’ or ‘sehr’.
