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! 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 …).

Example sentences in German using Nordpol with translations in English.
[1] Der Nordpol der Erde liegt inmitten des Arktischen Ozeans.
[1] The North Pole of the Earth lies in the middle of the Arctic Oceans[1] „Der Nordpol ist kein Festland, ist nicht mit dem Nordkap zu verwechseln und, anders als der Südpol, nicht von Bergen umgeben.“
[1] "The North Pole is not a mainland, cannot be confused with the North Cape and, unlike the South Pole, not surrounded by mountains"[1] „Sein Südpol ist weit stärker mit Festland bedeckt als der Nordpol, der nur aus einem kleinen Landkäppchen besteht.“
[1] "Its South Pole is much more covered with mainland than the North Pole, which only consists of a small country cap"[2] Bei vielen Magneten ist der Nordpol rot markiert.
[2] With many magnets, the North Pole is marked red[2] „Wurde diese Spirale mit einem Ende, das wir A nennen wollen, dem Nordpole eines Magnetes genähert, so entstand in ihr ein Strom von der Richtung, die er gehabt hätte, wenn man mit dem Nordpole in die Spirale, und zwar an eben diesem Ende A, hineingefahren wäre, wobei es gleichgültig war, ob die Spirale in der Verlängerung des Magnetschenkels oder wie immer lothrecht auf denselben sich befand, oder aber über die beiden Schenkel des Magnetes so gelegt wurde, dass das Ende A den Nordpol berührte. […] Schon bei dem ersten Versuche, als der Cylinder in der Richtung der Verlängerung des Nordpoles an diesen angelegt wurde, erhielt ich einen sehr schwachen Strom, jedoch von der früheren Richtung, woraus gefolgert werden konnte, dass der um die Spirale entstandene Magnetismus des Cylinders die directe Wirkung des Nordpoles auf die Spirale grössentheils aufgehoben habe, weil es sich gerade so nehmen lässt, als wenn man einen Nordpol in die Spirale und einen zweiten in derselben Richtung um die Spirale geschoben hätte.“ (1854)
[2] “If this spiral was approached to the north pole of a magnet with an end that we want to call A, so it came into being a stream from the direction he had had if one with the north pole into the spiral, namely on This end a, which would have driven in, although it was indifferent to whether the spiral was in the extension of the magnetic leg or as always on the same way to the same, or was placed over the two thighs of the magnetic so that the end of the North Pole touched […] Already in the first attempts, when the Cylinder was created in the direction of the extension of the north poles to it, I received a very weak electricity, but from the earlier direction that could be followed that the magnetism created by the spiral Cylinder the direct effect of the north poles on the spiral of size, because it can just be taken as if you are in the spiral and a second in the same direction the spiral would have pushed. ”(1854)[2] „Bei der Erdaxe ist die Richtung nach dem Nordpole zu verstanden, und das negative Zeichen des entsprechenden Moments zeigt an, dass die magnetische Axe einen stumpfen Winkel mit jener macht, d. i. dass ihr magnetischer Nordpol nach Süden gekehrt ist.“ (1867)
[2] “In the case of earth axes, the direction according to the north pole is to be understood, and the negative sign of the corresponding moment indicates that the magnetic axe makes a blunt angle with that power, dä i. that their magnetic North Pole has turned south. ”(1867)[2] „In Europa war die Abweichung des Nordpoles der Magnetnadel vom astronomischen Meridian im sechzehnten Jahrhundert östlich; die Nadel näherte sich von da an fortwährend der Mittagslinie, und die Abweichung ging sodann in eine westliche über, die bis zu einem Maximum zunahm, hierauf aber wieder abnahm.“ (1842)
[2] “In Europe, the deviation of the north poles of the magnetic needle from the astronomical meridian in the sixteenth century was the needle from then on the lunch line, and the deviation then passed into a western one that up to a maximum increased, but again accepted by “(1842)How do you pronounce Nordpol?
