Gasthäuser

/ˈɡɑstˌhɔɪzər/ noun

Definition

The plural form of gasthaus; multiple small German-speaking inns or taverns.

Etymology

Standard German plural form using the '-er' suffix modification from 'Gasthaus.' Maintains the same root meaning of guest houses.

Kelly Says

The plural shows how German compounds differently than English—what's one 'gasthaus' becomes multiple 'gasthäuser' with an internal vowel shift, a feature English mostly abandoned centuries ago!
