How to Say ‘A large’ in German
Einen großen
eye-nen groh-sen
[eye-nen groh-sen]
💬 Usage Tip: This is in the accusative masculine form: "ein großer" changes to "einen großen" before a masculine noun, like "einen großen Kaffee." German adjective endings are tiny—but mighty!
🇩🇪 In Germany: In Germany, drink sizes can be more modest than in some countries, so asking for "einen großen" can be useful if you want the bigger option.
