I'm taking an online college course to learn German, and it is kind of confusing. The book says all nouns have gender articles that precede them: the masculine "Der", the feminine "Die", and the neutral "Das." It gives an example of the masculine article as "Der Tisch." The feminine example is "Die Tur." ## question is, how do you tell the gender of a noun? How does it work?

coming from someone who goes on duolingo once in a while, and is taking spanish II

things like er and ie are masculine, while things like as and things that end with a are feminine

there are exceptions to both rules, but the main thing you pay attention to is the endings

excuse me i incorperated too much spanish into the question

yes das is neutral

die is feminine

and der is masculine

the gender is based on the endings (er) (ie) and (as)

"the gender is based on the endings (er) (ie) and (as)"

except nouns in german don't all end in er, ie, or as

german has a case system:

Singular: Plural:
Nom.: der Tisch die Tische
Gen.: des Tisch(e)s der Tische
Dat.: dem Tisch(e) den Tischen
Acc.: den Tisch die Tische

german nouns do not follow a reliable gender system so you have to memorize them

some more spanish influence

comer is the spanish verb to eat

Since (er) endings in spanish are masculine, the word is masculine.

Tu comes... (You eat...)

Cantar is masculine, because it ends with an (r). Though you would conjugate the (ar) part.

Also pon is right, ## I'm Mexican I know more Spanish; but ## I learn German the endings are roughly the same case. When you are learning German though, the (er) (ie) and (as) is really all you need to know to get going, and then you start learning new endings and such.

no, you don't

you conjugate verbs based on the subject, not the gender of the subject
