Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase consists of the adjective 'neu' inflected for feminine singular and the compound noun 'Lehrkraft' (die Lehre + die Kraft). 'Lehrkraft' is widely used in administrative, educational, and official contexts as an inherently gender-neutral term for an educator or instructor.
