Usage notes

  • In contemporary German, wider is found in compounds (see wider-) and otherwise mainly in a few set phrases. Due to its rarity it is sometimes hypercorrectly construed with the genitive case; thus instead of wider besseres Wissen (“against one's better knowledge”) one will sometimes read or hear wider besseren Wissens.

Derived terms

  • wider besseres Wissen
  • wider Erwarten
