1. last

   la der des ders (referring to the First World War) ― the war that ends all wars (literally, “the last of the lasts”)

Verb

der

1. first/third-person singular future subjunctive of dar

Etymology

From Middle High German dër, from Old High German dër, replacing the original masculine and feminine nominative forms from Proto-Germanic *sa, by analogy with the adjective inflection. Compare also Old Dutch thie and Old English sē where the same process occurred.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /deːr/, [deːɐ̯], [dɛɐ̯], [dɐ]
• The most common pronunciation is [dɛɐ̯], which is possible in all contexts. The form [deːɐ̯] may be used when the word is stressed. The reduced form [dɐ] occurs chiefly after prepositions and conjunctions. In northern and central German vernaculars, the /d/ may then assimilate to any preceding consonant; so in der, auf der may become [ˈɪnɐ], [ˈaʊ̯fɐ].
