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 …).

Example sentences in German using Natürlichkeit with translations in English.
[1] Natürlichkeit ist eine seiner guten Eigenschaften.
[1] Naturalness is one of its good properties[1] „Mitten unter den nichtigen, dürftigen, von aller Natürlichkeit entfernten Interessen, die in dieser Gesellschaft jeden mit dem andern verbanden, war plötzlich ein natürliches, einfaches Gefühl aufgetaucht: nämlich das Zueinanderstreben zweier wohlgeschaffener, gesunder, junger Menschen, eines Mannes und eines Weibes.“
[1] “In the middle of the nullity, poor, distant interests from all naturalness, which combined everyone in this society with the other, was suddenly a natural, simple feeling: namely the striving for two well -made, healthy, young people, one man and of a woman "[2] Natürlichkeit liegt vor, wenn die Beziehung zwischen den Bedeutungen zweier gegensätzlicher sprachlicher Elemente durch die Unterschiede in der Markiertheit wiedergegeben wird.
[2] Naturalness exists when the relationship between the meanings of two opposing linguistic elements is reproduced by the differences in the markingness[2] Ein Beispiel: Im Verhältnis Singular - Plural bedeutet der Plural im Allgemeinen mehr als der Singular; Natürlichkeit ist dann gegeben, wenn entsprechend auch die Form des Plurals mehr anzeigt wird als die des Singulars. Bei Substantiven: das Gegensatzpaar "Kind" - "Kinder" zeigt Natürlichkeit in der Wiedergabe der grammatischen Kategorien Singular und Plural; das Gegensatzpaar "Wagen" (Singular) - "Wagen" (Plural) zeigt diese Natürlichkeit der Verhältnisse nicht, da für den Plural in diesem Fall keine zusätzliche Endung vorhanden ist.
[2] An example: In the relationship of singular - plural, the plural generally means more than the singularity of naturalness, if the shape of the plural is also more indicated than that of the singular system for nouns: the pair of opposite "" Child " -" Children "shows naturalness in the reproduction of the grammatical categories singular and plural; The opposite pair "car" (singular) - "car" (plural) does not show this naturalness of the situation, since there is no additional ending for the plural in this case.[2] „Im Normalfall sind phonologische Natürlichkeit (…) und morphologische Natürlichkeit nicht simultan optimierbar.“
[2] "Normally, phonological naturalness (...) and morphological naturalness are not simultaneously optimable"[2] „Das Prinzip (i) besagt, daß morphologischer Wandel (soweit er nicht auf Sprach- und Dialektmischung, Entlehnung, Normierung usw. beruht) in Richtung von mehr Markiertheit/weniger Natürlichkeit zu weniger Markiertheit/mehr Natürlichkeit verläuft.“
[2] "The principle (i) states that morphological change (as far as it is not on language and dialect mixing, borrowing, standardization, etc.) in the direction of more marking/less naturalness to less marking/more naturalness."How do you pronounce Natürlichkeit?
