Is it der, die oder das Evolution?

Finding the right gender of a noun

German articles are used similarly to the English articles,a and the. However, they are declined differently (change) according to the number, gender and case of their nouns.

In the German language, the gender and therefore article is fixed for each noun.

The most difficult part of learning the German language is the articles (der, die, das) or rather the gender of each noun. The gender of each noun in German has no simple rule. In fact, it can even seem illogical. For example das Mädchen, a young girl is neutral while der Junge, a young boy is male.

It is a good idea to learn the correct article for each new word together - even if it means a lot of work. For example learning "der Hund" (the dog) rather than just Hund by itself. Fortunately, there are some rules about gender in German that make things a little easier. It might be even nicer if these rules didn't have exceptions - but you can't have everything!

German nouns belong either to the gender masculine (male, standard gender) with the definite article der, to the feminine (feminine) with the definite article die, or to the neuter (neuter) with the definite article das.

• for masculine: points of the compass, weather (Osten, Monsun, Sturm; however it is: das Gewitter), liquor/spirits (Wodka, Wein, Kognak), minerals, rocks (Marmor, Quarz, Granit, Diamant);

• for feminine: ships and airplanes (die Deutschland, die Boeing; however it is: der Airbus), cigarette brands (Camel, Marlboro), many tree and plant species (Eiche, Pappel, Kiefer; aber: der Flieder), numbers (Eins, Million; however it is: das Dutzend), most inland rivers (Elbe, Oder, Donau; aber: der Rhein);

• for neutrals: cafes, hotels, cinemas (das Mariott, das Cinemaxx), chemical elements (Helium, Arsen; however it is: der Schwefel, masculine elements have the suffix -stoff), letters, notes, languages and colors (das Orange, das A, das Englische), certain brand names for detergents and cleaning products (Ariel, Persil), continents, countries (die artikellosen: (das alte) Europa; however exceptions include: der Libanon, die Schweiz …).

German declension of Evolution?

How does the declension of Evolution work in the nominative, accusative, dative and genitive cases? Here you can find all forms in the singular as well as in the plural:

[1] In contrast to the revolution, slowly and peacefully progressive development in the history of history or in other processes

[2] Biology, natural history and cultural history: the development of (mostly) higher integrated, more complex forms in the physical-chemical (development of space and earth), in biological (development of living beings) and in the cultural field (development of cultures)

[3] System theory: A process in which copies are made by reproduction or replication of a system that differ from each other and from their original system by variation and in which only part of these copies are permitted due to selection for a further copying process

[4] Mathematics, physics: an illustration that indicates the (temporal) development at an initial value

[1] Seit der Französischen Revolution gilt "Evolution" als Begriff für eine langsam voranschreitende Entwicklung der begriffliche Gegensatz zu Revolution, eben einer schnellen politisch-kulturellen Umwälzung.

[2] „Evolution ist der kosmische Gesamt-Prozeß, der immer wieder zuvor unabhängig existierende Bausteine zu Ganzheiten höherer Komplexität zusammenfaßt. Drei aufeinanderfolgende Phasen der Evolution sind dabei erkennbar: die materielle, die biologische und die intellektuelle Phase (Hylo-, Bio- und Noosphäre). Die von Biologen meist unter dem Begriff Evolution verstandene Stammesentwicklung der Pflanzen- und Tier-Arten im Laufe der Erdgeschichte ist nur ein Teilabschnitt des Gesamtprozesses von Komplexitätswachstum.“

[2] „Die Evolution kommt auch ohne mich zurecht.“

[2] „Sprache unterliegt wie alles andere im Universum der Evolution.“

[3] „Evolution […] ist in der Systemtheorie ein Prozess, bei dem durch Reproduktion oder Replikation von einem System Kopien hergestellt werden, die sich voneinander und von ihrem Ursprungssystem durch Variation unterscheiden und bei dem nur ein Teil dieser Kopien auf Grund von Selektion für einen weiteren Kopiervorgang zugelassen werden.“

[4] Das Phasenvolumen bleibt unter der Evolution (der Funktion) konstant (Satz von Liouville)
