anderleuts

German

Pronoun

anderleuts

  1. (indefinite, colloquial) other people's, someone else's
    Mit anderleuts Sachen muss man vorsichtig sein.
    With someone else's things you must be careful.

Usage notes

The colloquial anderleuts always precedes that which is possessed. In standard German proper the correct genitive plural anderer Leute must be used, which may precede or follow the possession: mit anderer Leute Sachen, or: mit den Sachen anderer Leute. (In the latter case Leute can fall away: mit den Sachen anderer – with the things of others.)
