Why These Endings Work

All feminine (die) nouns stay completely unchanged in the singular across Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive.

  • Feminine nouns never change their own ending in the singular across all four cases.
  • Plural "Garantien" already ends in -n or -s, so Dative plural stays Garantien.
Pattern summary: Only the article changes in singular (die / die / der / der); plural takes -n in Dative unless ending in -n or -s.
