@mrsuniicorn ok. i just don't like videos that only show der/die/das because people might think that der/die/das is the whole story and then they're surprised and probably more confused when they see words like den/dem/des. that's why i think that learners should see all the articles at the same time. but of course, a native speaker like me doesn't really have an understanding of how diffiult it is to learn all the articles.
@Hardy30680 you can't explain der,die,das AND den,dem,des in one video. That's sooo complicated. The normal articles are just der, die, das! and den,dem,des is totally a different story, it's kinda weird, because den,dem,des is something with "4-Fälle", that you may not know in English language.
@L0UiSful Well, they have the 4 cases in English. He/him/to him/his ... Nom/Acc/Dat/Gen. But lots of native English speakers don´t know it and that´s why they might have problems with the cases in German. I know that seeing 6 different articles and 4 cases at the same time would be confusing at first, aber lieber ein Ende mit Schrecken als ein Schrecken ohne Ende ;-) I just don´t want learners to think that der/die/das is ALWAYS masc/fem/neut. The 6 articles are kinda flexible.
I know when I learned Spanish and Italian to determine if a word is masculine or feminine you look at the last letters in the word. Can you do that in German?
@hsrulw23 Yes, some noun endings show you the gender of a noun. For example: Nouns ending in -ung, -heit, -keit, -schaft and -in are always feminine. There are even more gender hints but also exeptions. I don´t really speak Italian/Spanish but I would say that it´s more difficult to predict German noun genders than Italian/Spanish noun genders.
OMG! SO sorry! I'm just too scared!Ok.... There was a lady who was walking in the forest with her dog and was killed. If u r reading this, then u will find a dead bloody body hanging in ur closet. U will be haunted and killed by her. to stop it posti this to 6 other videos in 30 GOOD LUCK
I think it's a bad idea when you tell learners to learn the nouns together with der/die/das. I say that because the der/die/das can change to den/die/das or dem/der/dem or des/der/des in the singular, same thing for indefinite articles. You should learn the nouns together with masc/fem/neut and then learn all the articles for the different cases.
@Hardy30680 Ur right but der/die/das are the basics. So it's pretty good, if you already know which noun belongs to a word. After that you can learn the more difficult parts with dem/des/den and so on. I think it's more important to know the easy structure with der/die/das first ^^

Hey Speedy con Kiwi! I just really want to say thank you for your help!! This is much more fun than reading books or using translators!! Also, this way we are getting the information that is truly used in Germany, not just formalities and such!! I <3 this & You are fabulous!
Ha, ich wusste das du Probleme bekommen wirst, wenn du die 4 Kasi erklären willst.Ich meine, das ist fast der ganze Deutsch-Stoff in der vierten Klasse.
Keep on the good work. And you guys keep learning, but i can told you german can be VERY difficult if you want to write a letter or something.
that doesn't make any sense! In catalan and in spanish there are articles too! But a spoon has always been femenin! And der tish for table! table is femenin! You are a good teacher, though.
Viele Menschen, die ind Deutschland leben, verwechseln auch nach 10 Jahren noch die Artikel. Zum Beispiel meine Mutter x'D aber das ist nicht schlimm, da es für die Artikel keine genau Regelung gibt. Da muss man eben nach Gefühl gehen ♥
++hey. i so love your channel.pls keep it up. you do inspire me in my german lesson. why not come to my channel and find out yourself. i d apreciate it. thxxxx
hey whats up kiwi?,i started to learn german when i heard mein teil lol by rammstein.i started to say the lyrics over n over silly yes the song is twisted but sounds badass.getvat kiwi later.
There actually is a way to learn most german genders without just knowing.. like most words ending in -el are der (Apfel, Teufel) and most ending in -keit and -heit are die (Freiheit, Moglichkeit) and for the ones that arent, you can just memorize their der, die, or das to fix that.
This is confusing though. I'm trying to use Rosetta Stone and it wants me to call a mädchen (girl) a DAS. Shouldn't it be die mädchen and not das mädchen?
@636Castle Like Kiwi said... it's not easy! das mädchen is in singular and die mädchen in plural, so it's another case of grammar. I don't speak English well, but i trie my best. ;)
Hi, I am a foreigner and I've just began to learn a little bit of German today, I have a question.
You mentioned that the German language has genders for inanimate objects. Does this rule apply to abstract nouns as well? I speak Portuguese, and one example in my language is "a perfilhação", meaning "the affiliation". Will German carry a gender article for "the affiliation" as well?
Das machst du echt gut;)Der, Die,Das(klatsch, klatsch) Der, Die, Das (klatsch klatsch) Wieso, Weshalb, Warum ( klatsch, klatsch) wer das nicht weiß bleib dumm.

Hi Kiwi, Thanks a lot for the videos you're making as I'm learning a lot. You teach much better than a lot of professionals and I know what I'm saying as I'm a teacher myself for the last 8 years. Thanks again for your work.
I think it's absolutely pathetic that people can't seem to hear the word German without spouting their uneducated bullshit about how Germans are Nazis, for the most part, Germans are a wonderful people who deeply regret what the minority of the Axis (NOT JUST GERMAN YOU MORONS) population did. Aside, German is a beautiful language that is not only incredibly useful in the real world but can also teach you quite a bit about the history of the English language too. Liebe Deutschland!
du hast ne gute englische aussprache (: ich frag mich echt wieso ich bei youtube nach "learn german" gesucht hab :D aber trotzdem geil (: ich dachte die ganze zeit an "der die das, wer wie was.. wieso welshalb warum- wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm " gedacht :DD sesamstraße ♥
Hey Kiwi. Ich bin begeistert und finde du machst das echt super! Ich habe neulich auch versucht einer Freundin zu erklären warum der oder die...schwierig!!! Mit der eigenen Sprache setzt man sich kaum auseinander..
Aber Worte die auf "-e" enden, sind meist weiblich. Mit Sicherheit gibts da noch mehr versteckte Zusammenhänge. Baum, Traum, Raum, Saum...alles männlich...
@just3ta no, that is surely not the correct translation. poor, poor guy... did you realize that the only nazi-like person here is you? people with your character traits were the ones that joined the ss. racist, thank god most german people are exactly your opposite.... by the way, who told you this nonsense with "herrenvolk"?!? now go on insulting some more people.
ok jetzt habe ich viele videos von dir gesehen wo du bekloppter als sonst bist aber jetzt muß ich dir mal was sagen das ist glaube ich das einzigste video was du gemacht hast was normal bzw auch nützlich ist:) dann habe ich nicht gesagt du kannst auch normal sein ich dachte schon fast du wärst auch im real nur so verrückt lol
@Am3rIca16 The translation of "the women" is "die Frauen" (plural). "Der Frauen" is a genitiv form. The sentence "These are the women's dresses" means "Dies sind die Kleider der Frauen", for example.
nice work, i started using a dvd course rosetta stone, with no explanations of fem masc etc so i went to google translator and figured some of it out myself, but this is great, thanks or danke
Mich kotzt es einfach nur noch an das egal wo man auf der Welt ist und sagt das man deutscher ist das erste was man zu hören bekommt Nazi. Deutschland hat vermutlich weniger Rassisten als andere Länder aber das will keiner sehn.

Danke fuer die Hilfe. Es tut mir leid, dass so viele Idioten sind hier schriftlich. Ich lerne Deutsch aber kanne ich nicht aussprechen. Deine Video wirklich hilft. Danke!
@ibrokeitdidnti u should say "wirklich" instead of "schriftlich". the translation of "literally" to "schriftlich" doesnt make sense in this context ;-)
Thanks for the German lesson. A very good tip on learning the articles...Just learn the article with the word. Super! It really works.
As for the stupid and vulgar comments, ignore them, German culture is beautiful, it gave us many great minds, art and music. I'm American of German descent, and proud of it. The mid-Twentieth century history, is history now, and was a perversion of Western values by one sick politician.
Whats with all these insulting comments? Most here are just trying to learn some German. Thank god the sentiments expressed here are not the common feelings towards others. Just some bored or angry people ranting. So go spew your useless OPINIONS somewhere else and enjoy what you really watched the video for!
I am learning german I would like to learn Latin in the future. I am working real hard. I am working on colors such as gleb, rot. I do not get how colors can be plural. Guten tag everyone!
@hetnerd The color/adjective thing is quite complicated (I just realized how complicated German really is, you don´t recognize it when you´re a native speaker, lol). If you still need or want to know, tell me. Latin is really hard to learn, too, but keep it up!
with der die das there are some rules, that make it easier to learn. For example, german words that end with -heit, -keit or -ie are often female (die)
For example die unendlichkeit (infinity) die Gesundheit (health) die Geschwindigkeit (speed), die Allergie (allergy)

Yeah, right....and you know what? They forgot your grandparents.
Maybe it's because that the singular and the plural form for "Mädchen" are just the same... To make a difference between them there has to be another article for the singular one (because every plural word in germany has already the article "Die").
It just would look very strange and confusing this way:

@just3ta Everybody has the freedom to believe in the lies he or she wants to. So I am not allowed to judge over you, nor are you over me or anyone. But some day your pointless hatred will consume you, and I feel sorry for you. If you can not forgive, you are the poorest person that lives on this planet. If you need help (and I really think you need help) you should stop insulting people for nothing - no one is willing to help you otherwise.
@just3ta So youre saying that all old wars 500 years ago should have a compensation? you got your god damn compensation Hitler is dead okay? and you didnt even live 70 years ago. Besides it's not relevant to talk about WW2 when this video hasn't anything to do about it.
ich finde es immer lustig wenn alle leute deutsch als 'eine der schwierigsten sprachen der welt' bezeichen , aber wenn man mal überlegt ist man froh deutsch zu können
Curiosity... If you muddle them up, is it bad? If you said Die Fahrrad instead of Das Fahrrad, would this confuse a German speaker? Or would they say you're stupid, or whatever?
@GreyJay69 - I'd answer your question like this: No, it's usually not too bad if you muddle up the articles, a Fahrrad is a Fahrrad, never mind the article, you're still getting the message across. If any German speaker told you that you're stupid for not getting their language exactly right, then - quite clearly - *they're* the one who's stupid. Keep in mind, though, that sometimes people might laugh when you speak German, probably because they think you sound "cute". In a good way. ;)
@GreyJay69 - Continued answer to your question: *Sometimes* things can get confusing when you happen to use the wrong article, like for example when you want to say "the old man/woman over there" in a colloquial way - "der/die Alte da drüben" - the word "Alte" doesn't change (in this case), but the article does. However, in this case you could say "Der alte Mann da drüben" or "Die alte Frau da drüben" to avoid confusion. Other cases like this: der/die Neue, der/die Große, and so on.
@GreyJay69 - Oh, and one more thing: I forgot to mention "das", so just to avoid confusion: "Der Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new (male) coworker (or whatever) is pretty nice", but "Die Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new (female) pupil (or whatever..) is pretty nice", but "Das Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new 'thing' (e.g. book, album) is pretty nice". So in cases where an adjective can be used as a substitute for a noun, you might wanna use adjective + noun instead if you're unsure about the article.
i'm brazilian and i learned german in school, but now i changed school and i'm kinda forgetting it. but watching your videos really helps a lot :) i'm sure gonna check out your vlog so i can listen to german and learn more about you, since you seem so sweet and funny
The term "concentration camp" was first used to describe camps operated by the British in South Africa during the Second Boer War. As Boer farms were destroyed by the British under their "Scorched Earth" policy—including the systematic destruction of crops and slaughtering of livestock, the burning down of homesteads and farms, and the poisoning of wells and salting of fields. So - any questions so far?
wtf are you an fuckin terrosrist or what? not all germans are nazis you motherfucker , are you think all german people have like hitler? all hate him. he has kill german people , my grandma is died because hitler...we all have hate hitler! so fuck you!!!! im german but i am not an nazi
i think it's not a good idea to say that you should learn the nouns together with articles. because if you learn that der/die/das is m/f/n then it will confuse you when you suddenly have to say der Frau (the woman). just learn the nouns together with m/f/n and without learning der/die/das. learn the articles when you learn the cases. i think that's better. greetings from germany ;)

Bro tip: Also look at the end of the word. Nouns with the same endings usually have the same gender and so the same article:
Examples: -en (das)
Das Mädchen (the girl), every substantiv form of verbs (das Spielen, das Rauchen, das Klettern), das Becken (the sink), das Eichhörnchen (squirrel)
-st (der): Der Polizist (the policemen), der Masochist (the masochist), der Florist (the florist), der Christ (the christian)
-in (die): die Helferin, die Sängerin, die Gemahlin.

Some people tell me the translation of the women is der Frauen?Which is one is correct die frau or der frauen?kind of confused lol
Am3rIca16 1 year ago
@Am3rIca16 The translation of "the women" is "die Frauen" (plural). "Der Frauen" is a genitiv form. The sentence "These are the women's dresses" means "Dies sind die Kleider der Frauen", for example.

Mich kotzt es einfach nur noch an das egal wo man auf der Welt ist und sagt das man deutscher ist das erste was man zu hören bekommt Nazi. Deutschland hat vermutlich weniger Rassisten als andere Länder aber das will keiner sehn.
jedes Land hat dunkle Zeiten in der Vergangenheit durchgemacht aber das wird ihnen auch nich bis in alle Zeiten nachgetragen nur mal als beispiel Amerika mit der Sklaverei das war auch nich unbedingt pure Nächstenliebe.....

Thanks for the German lesson. A very good tip on learning the articles...Just learn the article with the word. Super! It really works.
As for the stupid and vulgar comments, ignore them, German culture is beautiful, it gave us many great minds, art and music. I'm American of German descent, and proud of it. The mid-Twentieth century history, is history now, and was a perversion of Western values by one sick politician.

with der die das there are some rules, that make it easier to learn. For example, german words that end with -heit, -keit or -ie are often female (die)
For example die unendlichkeit (infinity) die Gesundheit (health) die Geschwindigkeit (speed), die Allergie (allergy)

Right it must be horrible to learn the genders.. but if you do by feeling...something feels more female or male .. you will often be right..
As a German, even I don't understand some reasons in this language..eg:
Die Frau - the woman
Der Mann - the man
Das Kind - child
Der Junge - the boy
BUT:
Das Mädchen - the girl (neuter)
Can't understand.. but it is like this like XD

Maybe it's because that the singular and the plural form for "Mädchen" are just the same... To make a difference between them there has to be another article for the singular one (because every plural word in germany has already the article "Die").
It just would look very strange and confusing this way:
Die Mädchen (singular)
Die Mädchen (plural)

@pyrointeam
the suffix "-chen" is the reason. It turns every word into neuter.
( "der Junge" - "das Jüngelchen" , "der Mann" - "das Männchen", "die Gabel" - "das Gäbelchen", "die Maid" - "das Maidchen = das Mädchen")

Curiosity... If you muddle them up, is it bad? If you said Die Fahrrad instead of Das Fahrrad, would this confuse a German speaker? Or would they say you're stupid, or whatever?
GreyJay69 1 year ago
@GreyJay69 - I'd answer your question like this: No, it's usually not too bad if you muddle up the articles, a Fahrrad is a Fahrrad, never mind the article, you're still getting the message across. If any German speaker told you that you're stupid for not getting their language exactly right, then - quite clearly - *they're* the one who's stupid. Keep in mind, though, that sometimes people might laugh when you speak German, probably because they think you sound "cute". In a good way. ;)
Akvileja 1 year ago
@GreyJay69 - Continued answer to your question: *Sometimes* things can get confusing when you happen to use the wrong article, like for example when you want to say "the old man/woman over there" in a colloquial way - "der/die Alte da drüben" - the word "Alte" doesn't change (in this case), but the article does. However, in this case you could say "Der alte Mann da drüben" or "Die alte Frau da drüben" to avoid confusion. Other cases like this: der/die Neue, der/die Große, and so on.
Akvileja 1 year ago
@GreyJay69 - Oh, and one more thing: I forgot to mention "das", so just to avoid confusion: "Der Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new (male) coworker (or whatever) is pretty nice", but "Die Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new (female) pupil (or whatever..) is pretty nice", but "Das Neue ist ganz nett" - "The new 'thing' (e.g. book, album) is pretty nice". So in cases where an adjective can be used as a substitute for a noun, you might wanna use adjective + noun instead if you're unsure about the article.

@serioushamster
The term "concentration camp" was first used to describe camps operated by the British in South Africa during the Second Boer War. As Boer farms were destroyed by the British under their "Scorched Earth" policy—including the systematic destruction of crops and slaughtering of livestock, the burning down of homesteads and farms, and the poisoning of wells and salting of fields. So - any questions so far?

i think it's not a good idea to say that you should learn the nouns together with articles. because if you learn that der/die/das is m/f/n then it will confuse you when you suddenly have to say der Frau (the woman). just learn the nouns together with m/f/n and without learning der/die/das. learn the articles when you learn the cases. i think that's better. greetings from germany ;)
