belegtes Brot vs belegte Brote Hello guys. Could anyone help me with those two sentences? 1. "Sie essen ihr belegtes Brot" 2. "Sie essen ihre belegten Brote" Why "belegten Brote" in the second sentence? Shouldn't it be "belegte Brote"? Thanks in advance.

Belegtes Brott This is used when the article doesn't indicate the gender of a noun, for example: Ich esse ein Belegtes Brott. (I eat [am eating] a sandwich.) Belegte Brott This is used when the article DOES indicate the gender of the noun for example: Ich esse das Belegte Brott. (I eat [am eating] the sandwich.) This is only in the accusative case, and it only changes with the neutral gender. The other genders adjective declinations don't change: Feminine: Ich sehe eine rotte Erdbeere. Ich sehe die rotte Erdbeere. Masculine: Ich bringe einen großen Tisch. Ich bringe den großen Tisch. And another example in neutral: Ich brauche ein schnelles Auto. Ich brauche das schnelle Auto.

You could just say "belegte Brote", but then you'd omit the information that they ate *their* breads.
