Adjectives describing Plural
Do the adjectives that describe something plural always have to end with "-en" ?
If not, what are the cases that the adjective should end with "-en" when describing something plural?

Question

Answer

There are three ways to inflect an adjective: strong, weak, and mixed. Wikipedia has the tables and determiners:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_adjectives#Weak_and_strong_inflection

So you can see that it's always -en in the plural in the mixed and weak inflection, but only -en in the dative plural in the strong inflection.
