Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word diejenig is derived from the German words 'die' and 'jenig', which mean 'the' and 'that one' respectively. When combined, they form the pronoun diejenig, which is used to refer to a particular person or thing out of a group of people or things that have already been mentioned in the conversation.
For example, if someone says 'Ich habe drei Bücher gekauft. Das erste Buch war langweilig, das zweite Buch war interessant und ___________ hat mir sehr gut gefallen.' Here, diejenig would be used to refer to the third book that the speaker liked.
It's important to note that diejenig is always used with a definite article (der, die, das) and must agree in gender and number with the noun it refers to. Additionally, it can only be used when referring to something previously mentioned in the conversation.
