Forms in -sten

Why does this work with e.g. "jüngste", but not "jüngsten". "Jüngsten" is not simply the superlative of "jung", as we now falsely say, it is an inflected form just like "jüngste" or "jüngster", precisely analogous to "jungen" and "jüngeren". In "am jüngsten" we have the contraction "am" followed by the weak dative neuter superlative of "jung". 92.218.236.55 09:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
