Usage notes

In German, one normally uses the definite article in actual phrases or sentences, and this changes the inflection of both the masculine plural definite article die (the) and its accompanying adjective vereinigt (united), e.g.: die Verfassung der (i.e. "of the") Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika ("the Constitution of the United States of America") or die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sind (lit. "are", not "is") ein Land in Nordamerika ("The United States of America is a country in North America").
