Usage notes
The German word is commonly used only for more richly filled sandwiches, typically with salad and sauce, normally featuring toasted bread or a bread roll. Plainer variants with traditional German bread go by a variant of regional German names like de Stulle. Variants with a bread roll often go simply by de Brötchen bread roll.
The noun is generally neuter, but may be treated as masculine by some speakers.
The inflected forms above are loosely ordered by frequency. The plural is usually Sandwiches in formal writing, but the two alternative plurals are equally frequent in common usage.
