Usage notes
[edit]- If combined with a number written with digits, a hyphen may be used in the compound word (e.g. 3tägig or 3-tägig); if combined with a word, no hyphen is used (e.g. dreitägig). However, the spelling reform rules of 1996 etc. proscribe spellings like 3tägig and prescribe spellings like 3-tägig.
