However, there may be contextual pitfalls and regional differences, which makes it advisable for learners not to leave out de Herr (and de Frau). When people address each other with their last name, but say de du to each other, the words de Herr and de Frau are always left out in most regions. In parts of western Germany, however, there is (or was) a system of saying de du and de Herr/de Frau among coworkers. There are three different female equivalents of de Herr, each covering different senses: de Herrin, de Dame, and de Frau. Declension The forms de Herrn and de Herren were originally simple phonetic/graphic variants. Both were used for the singular and plural inflections. In contemporary standard German they are—usually—distinguished functionally, de Herrn being the inflected singular, de Herren the plural.
