Why genitive is used here?












2















In the sentence:




Eines gleich vorweg: Wir sind kein Speisepilz-Verein!




Why isn't it:




"Ein gleich vorweg: ..." ?




What's the reason to use genitive here? Is there any grammar that I don't know? Can you explain it?

  • So why it didn't use "ein gleich vorweg"? I still don't get it, can you explain it more?

    Eines is equivalent to eins not to ein, if that helps you understanding better.

    – πάντα ῥεῖ

  • I'm just trying to figure it out, can you give a translation of it?

Here eines is not genitive and not an article. Instead "eines" is a pronoun, and its neuter form is eines.



You can translate this sentence as




One thing right from the start ...
