    Without an article the adjective takes the strong ending –e, not –en.

Cultural Tip

In German both ‘gern’ and ‘gerne’ are acceptable; ‘gerne’ sounds slightly more formal. The adjective ‘komplex’ is often used in academic or technical contexts, so the whole sentence fits well in a professional setting. When you omit an article before a plural noun, remember to use the strong adjective ending –e, as in ‘komplexe Probleme’.
