Описание: Stop guessing German articles. I show you the noun endings that reliably reveal gender—so you can pick der, die, das with confidence, fast. We’ll group the most dependable patterns, add memorable examples, and give you tiny checks to avoid the classic traps.

🧠 What you’ll learn
• Feminine endings you can trust: -ung, -ei, -schaft, -heit, -keit, -ie
• Masculine endings that signal der: -ant, -ig, -ling, -us
• Neuter helpers: -chen, -lein, -um, -ment (bonus patterns)
• Easy 80/20 hacks to get most nouns right without rote memorization

📝 Handy examples
• die Umleitung, die Freundschaft, die Möglichkeit
• der König, der Lehrling, der Optimismus
• das Mädchen, das Zentrum, das Dokument

👍 Why watch
• Clear groups → instant recall
• Short checks for exceptions (and when to trust your ending)
• Perfect A2–B1 boost for speaking, writing and exam speed

❓ FAQ
Q: Do I have to memorize every article, or are there real rules?
A: Both. Learn nouns with their article, and use ending patterns (-ung/-heit/-keit/-schaft/-ei/-ie → die; -ling/-ig/-ant/-us → der; -chen/-lein/-um/-ment → das) to predict fast.
Q: What about exceptions and the plural?
A: Exceptions exist, but these patterns cover a lot. In the plural, the definite article in nominative/accusative is always die—regardless of the singular gender.
