NOUNS - DEFINITE ARTICLES VS. INDEFINITE ARTICLES

GERMAN

Definite articles: The german words der, die, das, den, and dem correspond to the English word "the".

Indefinite articles: The german words ein, eine, eines, einen, and einem correspond to the English words "a" and "an".

To chose the correct article, one must determine the gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), case (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive), and number (singular, plural) of the noun that the adjective will modify.
