If you have studied any of the German language, you know how confusing the articles can seem at first. Personally, I had a terrible time learning them, and still, to this day, I have to be careful when speaking or writing in German.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In German, articles before nouns are an important part of the word. The article tells us if the noun is masculine, neuter, feminine, or plural. It also relates much more information, but let\u2019s stick to the very basic ideas for this article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After studying, articles, you will begin to see patterns, as with any language, and your understanding of which articles to use and why will increase accordingly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the first part, let us have a look at definite articles. These are the equivalent to the English \u2018the\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Definite Articles<\/h2>\n

The definite articles in German are der, das, die. They are used like the word \u2018the\u2019 in English. In English, there is no masculine, neuter, or feminine form. It\u2019s always \u2018the\u2019. Not so in German. That\u2019s the part that confuses most people, and for me, it was also the toughest to learn. The way I learned was by memorizing the masculine forms, then the neuter, and then the feminine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some would disagree with that way of teaching, saying that you should learn the articles as you learn the nouns. I disagree. I disagree because the case of the article also changes depending on the sentence. That means, if I don\u2019t know all the masculine forms, I won\u2019t know how to speak a proper sentence if I need a case other than nominative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMasculine: der (nominative)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

den (accusative)dem (dative)<\/p>\n

des (genitive)<\/p>\n

Neuter: das (nominative)<\/p>\n

das (accusative)<\/p>\n

dem (dative)<\/p>\n

des (genitive)<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>
\nFeminine: die (nominative)<\/strong><\/h3>\n


\n<\/strong>
\ndie (accusative)<\/p>\n

der (dative)<\/p>\n

der (genitive)<\/p>\n

Plural: die (nominative)<\/p>\n

die (accusative)<\/p>\n

den (dative)<\/p>\n

der (genitive)<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re like most other people and you\u2019ve been out of junior high English classes for a minute or two, you might need a refresher on: what the heck do those cases mean? I\u2019ll keep it as simple as possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nominative is the subject of the sentence (the person or thing doing something).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accusative receives the action (the direct object).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dative is an indirect object. That is a noun phrase that refers to someone or something that is affected by the action of the transitive verb but isn\u2019t the primary object. Example: \u2018her\u2019 in “give her the papers”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Genitive case is the equivalent of the English possessive case. I won\u2019t go into all the debate surrounding genitive cases, it goes deep and takes long to discuss. But know that genitive is not always about possession. Sometimes it signifies that something is for or by someone instead of being possessed by a person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Articles in Use<\/h2>\n

Now, how in the world are you supposed to use the information I gave you there? First off, I would recommend memorizing the chart above. Honestly, what could it hurt? It\u2019s simpler to memorize the cases, and then learn which nouns are masculine, neuter, or feminine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s see those articles in use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

German nouns can be masculine, neuter or feminine and that\u2019s what determines which article to use. Another helpful tip here, in case you didn\u2019t already know, German nouns are capitalized. Always.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Masculine: der Mann (the man)
\nNeuter: das Kind (the child)
\nFeminine: die Frau (the woman)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And how, exactly, am I supposed to know the gender of the nouns, you ask. Well, Germans will tell you there\u2019s not much to do except learn them as you go. I disagree, as it is now widely known that the ending of a noun will often tell you its gender. There are exceptions to every rule, but these lists should be easy to memorize and put into action\u2014and they have never led me wrong yet!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nouns ending in:
\n-ung\u2014die Entscheidung (the decision)
\n-schaft\u2014die Freundschaft (the friendship)
\n-keit\u2014die Findegkeit (the ingenuity)
\n-heit\u2014die Dunkelheit (the darkness)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These nouns will always be feminine and go with \u2018die\u2019. A great many nouns that end with \u2018-e\u2019 are also feminine and go with \u2018die\u2019.
\ndie Lampe (the lamp)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The majority of singular nouns that end with \u2018-er\u2019 are masculine and therefore go with \u2018der\u2019.
\nder Sommer (the summer)
\nder Amerikaner (the *male* American)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNouns ending with:
\n-ant\u2014der Elefant (the elephant)
\n-ast\u2014der Gast (the guest)
\n-ich\u2014der Laich (the spawn)
\n-ismus\u2014der Organismus (the organism)
\n-ling\u2014der Fremdling (the stranger)
\n-us\u2014der Haus (the house)
\nAre also male and used with \u2018der\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nouns ending with:
\n-chen\u2014das M\u00e4dchen
\n-lein\u2014das Entlein (the duckling)
\n-um\u2014das Wachstum (the growth)
\nAre usually neuter and go with \u2018das\u2019
\nEin, Eine
\nEin and Eine are equivalent to the English article \u2018a\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use ein for masculine and neuter; use eine for feminine and plural in the nominative case.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the simplest and most basic use for ein\/eine. Learning all the cases\/uses\/forms of ein\/einem would constitute another article, but I know some of you were probably wondering why I hadn\u2019t mentioned them here, so, there they are!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are always exceptions to every rule, and German articles are no different. There are several exceptions to these rules, actually. But you can\u2019t stray too far from being correct if you use the simple tricks and tips in this article.<\/p>\n
