• Homophone: mutteren (some dialects)

Usage notes

Although the noun is always used in definite form, it can be used together with pronoun ho (“she”), here working as a definite particle for feminine nouns already having definite ending. Of this reason, ho muttern is a redundant variant of muttern.
