German

Etymology

Borrowed from French remis.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /reˈmiː/, [ʁeˈmiː], [ʁə-] (basic form)
• IPA^(key): /reˈmiːs/ (plural and genitive singular)

• Audio (Germany (Berlin)):

  (file)

• Rhymes: -iː

Noun

Remis n (strong or mixed, genitive Remis, plural Remis or Remisen)

1. (chess, sports) draw

Usage notes

• The normal plural is Remis, pronounced differently from the singular (as above). The plural Remisen is restricted to chess; it is also the plural of Remise.
• Outside of chess contexts, Remis is not in common use among the general population. It is, however, fairly frequent in media jargon, especially to avoid repetition of Unentschieden.
