Usage Note

solcher is a der-word that inflects like dieser to agree with its noun, giving forms like solche, solches and solchem. In speech Germans often replace it with so ein ('such a'), saying so ein Mann rather than ein solcher Mann. The combination solch ein is also possible but sounds slightly formal.

Examples

"Solcher Lärm stört mich sehr."
