Usage notes
- The genitive is (der) Paprika in feminine use, and (des) Paprika or (des) Paprikas in masculine use.
- The plural is most often unchanged Paprika when preceded by an article, determiner, or numeral, and most often Paprikas when standing alone. This distinction is just a tendency, however.
