Making a mess everytime that you need to choose one “artikel” for the german substantives?! When is die you say das, when is das you say der and so on…..

Here are some tips that our amazing teacher gave us to help to choose the articles. They are very useful!

• Feminina

All the substantives ended in keit, heit, in, ung, tät, ion, schaft, ei and ur are ALWAYS feminin. The words ended with “e” are 80% of the times feminin.

• Maskulina

All the substantives ended in ant, ist, ismus, or and ling are ALWAYS masculin. The substantives ended in “er” are 90% of the times masculin.

• Neutra

The substantives ended in chen, lein, um and ment.
