Usage notes

• In German, most people try to approximate the original pronunciations of many recently borrowed words, which is why there is even a term for this, Fremdwort, for which there is no real equivalent in English. In the case of the corresponding noun, Sex, a voiced beginning is considered even more outdated or incorrect than for the adjective sexy, and this voiced pronunciation is used and emphasized for sechs ("six") to clearly differentiate it.
• The positive form is not inflected in standard usage: ein sexy Kleid. Inflected forms only occur in colloquial speech (ein sexyes Kleid), and only rarely.
• The comparative has to be inflected when used before nouns. This is avoided in standard usage, which means that the comparative is rare except in predicative position. (Colloquial: Sie will ein sexyeres Kleid. / Sie will ein Kleid, das mehr sexy ist. Formal written: Die Kundin sucht ein Kleid, das sexyer ist. Formal spoken [since the ending of sexyer is hard to hear]: Die Kundin sucht ein Kleid, das mehr sexy ist.)
