German Genders Game – Deutsch.ie

 

There is, unfortunately, no definitive way to neatly organize German nouns into “Der”, “Die”, or “Das” categories, which makes the task of learning them a lot more difficult. However, there are some guidelines that can help you (see table below). In the beginning, it is extremely important to learn every noun as a gender-noun pair (der Hund, not just “Hund”) – this will make your life a lot easier in the future!

To see full lists of the nouns used in the above game, check out our German Vocabulary section and click through the various topics.
