[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Middle Low German Schadeleke, Schedelike. Possibly related with the common placename element schêde, modern German Scheide (“border, divide”), though the a-vocalism is problematic.
Proper noun
[edit]Schalke n (proper noun, strong, genitive Schalkes or (with an article) Schalke)
- A quarter of Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
- Fahr doch in Schalke auf die 42.
- Why don’t you join autobahn 42 in Schalke.
- Short for FC Schalke 04 (football club).
- Ob ich verroste oder verkalke, ich geh noch immer auf Schalke.

Usage notes
[edit]- As above, the football club and its stadium are commonly construed with auf. Otherwise usual prepositions (like bei, in, zu) can also be used, but are less idiomatic.
