German edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from English bachelor. Doublet of Bakkalaureus.
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
Bachelor m (strong, genitive Bachelors, plural Bachelor or Bachelors)
Usage notes edit
- The unchanged plural (die) Bachelor is in practice more common than (die) Bachelors, though only the latter form is recognized by Duden. The plural is often, however, avoided in writing by means of using a compound word (Bachelorabschlüsse or Bachelorabsolventen, depending on the sense). This is particularly so in the dative plural, where the form (den) Bachelorn—although perfectly acceptable in speech—may be considered disturbing to the eye.
