Abstract
Abstract: This study is intended to serve as a guide to teachers of German who are teaching German as a foreign
language and as a second language, by contrasting the grammatical structures of contemporary German and
Macedonian language. This study is limited to the grammatical category number of nouns only. By contrasting the
two systems point for point, teachers can more readily see just those places where there are dissimilarities - and
congruence - between the two systems and where students of one, say Macedonians who wish to learn German, can
more readily be made aware of what to look out for as they practice grammar drills in the target language. The
morphological exponence of the noun categories of case, number and gender in German language presents the
linguist with some singularly difficult problems largely because their realization does not occur uniformly through a
system of suffixed formatives on the noun, as in the classical inflecting languages, but most often in part or
exclusively through formatives on those other members of the noun phrase which are traditionally seen as standing
in a relationship of agreement to the noun.
