Meaning
The advance of trust for the western parties was correspondingly low.
Word for word: The trust-advance for the west-parties was according-to-that low fallen-out.
Reports that, after 1990, the initial trust granted to the West German parties was correspondingly small; typical of journalistic or academic reporting of someone's claim.
A statement using the subjunctive one (Konjunktiv I) 'sei' to report an assertion indirectly, with the perfect-tense participle 'ausgefallen' at the end of the clause and the adjective 'gering' as a predicate modifier.
Rules at work(7)
-
sei ... ausgefallen
'sei' is Konjunktiv I of 'sein', marking reported speech: the writer reports someone else's assessment without endorsing it.
Reported speech in journalism and formal writing. It is built from the infinitive stem, and where its form would be identical to the ordinary present, Konjunktiv II is used instead to keep the reporting visible.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
sei ... ausgefallen
'ausfallen' forms its perfect with 'sein', here in the subjunctive, because it denotes a change of state.
Verbs of motion from one place to another and verbs of change of state take sein rather than haben in the perfect, along with sein, werden and bleiben themselves. Er ist gegangen, not er hat gegangen.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
ausgefallen
The strong verb 'ausfallen' forms its participle with ge- inserted after the separable prefix and the ending -en: ausgefallen.
A weak verb forms its participle as ge plus stem plus t, a strong verb as ge plus a often changed stem plus en. Verbs with an inseparable prefix and verbs ending in ieren take no ge at all.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
ausgefallen
The prefix 'aus-' of 'ausfallen' is inseparable from the participle but is separated in finite forms.
Some verbs carry a prefix that detaches in a main clause and moves to the very end: aufstehen becomes Ich stehe um sieben auf. The prefix is stressed, which is what tells a separable prefix from an inseparable one. In a subordinate clause and in the infinitive the verb stays whole.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
Der Vertrauensvorschuss
The subject of the sentence stands in the nominative.
The nominative marks the subject of the clause: whoever or whatever is doing the verb. It is also the case used after the verbs sein, werden and bleiben, so both sides of Das ist mein Bruder stand in the nominative.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
für die Westparteien
'für' always governs the accusative, so the article takes its accusative plural form 'die'.
Durch, für, gegen, ohne and um always take the accusative, whatever they mean and whatever follows them.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
Vertrauensvorschuss
Two nouns are joined into one compound with a linking -s-, taking the gender of the final element.
German builds long nouns by joining shorter ones. The last part carries the gender and the plural, and everything before it modifies what follows, so a compound is read from the right.
