Bestimmter Artikel (der/die/das)
The definite article (der/die/das)
Every German noun has a gender. The definite article ("the") shows this gender:
| Gender | Article | Example |
|---|---|---|
| masculine | der | der Mann |
| feminine | die | die Frau |
| neuter | das | das Kind |
Example: Der Mann ist groß. (The man is tall.) Die Frau liest. (The woman reads.) Das Kind spielt. (The child plays.)
Always learn every new noun together with its article.
___ Mann ist groß.
