Wert

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German wert, from Old High German werd, from Proto-Germanic *werþaz. The -t is generalised from the uninflected form, likely reinforced by the desire to distinguish from forms of werden (compare werten). The regular -d- remains in Würde, würdig. Compare Dutch waard, English worth, Swedish värd. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /veːrt/, [veːɐ̯t], [vɛɐ̯t], [ʋ-] Homophones: wehrt, werd, wert (general), wärt, währt (some speakers) === Noun === Wert m (strong, genitive Wertes or Werts, plural Werte) value (determinable numerical quantity) worth, value (state or degree of being estimated) (often in the plural) value (moral ideal or norm) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== wert, werten Würde, würdig === Further reading === “Wert” in Duden online “Wert”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German)
