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! The best way to learn them is with the App - Der-Die-Das Train! (available for iOS and Android)

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 …).

What is the meaning of Flüchtlingskrise in German?

Flüchtlingskrise is defined as:

[1] A crisis in connection with refugees, especially the refugee crisis in Europe 2015

[1] eine Krise im Zusammenhang mit Flüchtlingen, besonders die Flüchtlingskrise in Europa 2015

The term is regarded by some as a shortening and negative press jargon, since it is more of a crisis of the German/European political institutions and the German municipal and country administrations as well as the educational and health institutions due to difficulties in asylum procedures and the integration of Refugees, but not the refugees on their footpath to Europe

Der Begriff wird von einigen als ein verkürzender und negativ besetzter Pressejargon angesehen, da es sich eher um eine Krise der deutschen/europäischen politischen Institutionen und der deutschen kommunalen und Länder-Verwaltungen sowie der Bildungs- und Gesundheitsinstitutionen handelt wegen Schwierigkeiten bei Asylverfahren und der Integrierung von Flüchtlingen, aber nicht der Flüchtlinge auf ihrem Fußweg nach Europa
