Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]blass (strong nominative masculine singular blasser, comparative blasser or blässer, superlative am blassesten or am blässesten)
Usage notes
[edit]- The spelling blass has been the prescribed spelling since the German spelling reform of 1996 (the Rechtschreibreform). In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it had already been standard since ⟨ß⟩ was deprecated in the 1930s. In the affected areas, the previous spelling (blaß) is now less common, and may be regarded as a misspelling.
