✕Common Mistakes
Das ist ein große Community-Event.
The adjective needs the neuter ending –es after the indefinite article 'ein'.
Das ist eine großes Community-Event.
‘Event’ is neuter, so the article must be 'ein', not the feminine 'eine'.
Das ist ein großes Community Event.
In German the loanword is usually hyphenated and capitalised as a single noun.

All nouns, including loanwords, are capitalised in German.

Cultural Tip
German capitalises every noun, so 'Event' stays capitalised even inside a loanword. The adjective 'groß' takes the ending –es because the indefinite article 'ein' does not provide a case marker for neuter nouns. 'Community-Event' is a common English loan in German marketing and tech circles; the hyphen is the standard way to join the two parts.
