==In German== Such instances of dependent-marking are a relatively rare occurrence in English, but dependent-marking occurs much more frequently in related languages, such as [[German language|German]]. There, for instance, dependent-marking is present in most noun phrases. A noun marks its dependent determiner: ::[[File:Dependent marking 2.1.png|Dependent marking 2.1]] The noun marks the dependent determiner in gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) and number (singular or plural). In other words, the gender and number of the noun determine the form of the determiner that must appear. Nouns in German also mark their dependent adjectives in gender and number, but the markings vary across determiners and adjectives. Also, a head noun in German can mark a dependent noun with the genitive case.
