German Grammar Articles (ARTIKEL)

                                           ARTIKEL



In german language articles plays a main role because for  every Noun  has its article. And also always learn the German words with their aticle.

As english German also  have two forms of articles. 
  • Bestimmter Artikel - Definite Article
  • Unbestimmter Artikel- Indefinite Article.
Bestimmer Artikel : 
                               It refers about the definite articles. The definite articles in german are classified into three types.
  1. Der  
  2. Das
  3. Die
  • Der comes before a masculine singular noun, which may be a thing or a person , e.g Der Kuli
  • Das comes before a neutral singular noun, which may be a thing or a person , e.g Das Buch.
  • Die come sbefore a feminine singular noun, which may be a thing or aperson , e.g Die Uhr
  • No article is used before proper names of person , e.g Das ist Sam.
Unbestimmer Artikel:
                                   It refers about the indefinite articles. English have two indefinite articles A and An but in German the indefinite article is only one i.e ein.
  • Ein is to be used before a masculine Noun e.g, ein Mann.
  • Eine is to be used before a Feminine Noun e.g, ein Frau.

Commoly used words with their articles:
 
Masuline                              Feminine                                    Neuter 
                
der Pilot                                die Cola                                       das Auto
der Kaffee                             die Mutter                                   das Haus
der Tourist                            die Tochter                                  das Telefon
der Film                                die Maus                                      das Wasser
der wein                                die Hand                                      das Brot


One thing need to reminder that when using a noun in german the Starting letter of the noun must be a Upper case letter.
