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 …).

What is the meaning of Tiefenstruktur in German?
Tiefenstruktur is defined as:
[1] Linguistics: abstract, underlying structure, from which different sentences can be derived, which mean the same (the concept dives in different grammar types, first in the generative transformation grammar, on)
[1] Linguistik: abstrakte, zugrundeliegende Struktur, aus der sich unterschiedliche Sätze, die aber dasselbe bedeuten, herleiten lassen (Das Konzept taucht in verschiedenen Grammatiktypen, zuerst in der generativen Transformationsgrammatik, auf.)How to use Tiefenstruktur in a sentence?
Example sentences in German using Tiefenstruktur with translations in English.
[1] Die Sätze: "Der Junge sieht das Mädchen", "Das Mädchen wird von dem Jungen gesehen", "(weil) der Junge das Mädchen sieht" können aus ein und derselben Tiefenstruktur hergeleitet werden. Diese Tiefenstruktur kann in einer frühen Version der Transformationsgrammatik so aussehen: Det + N + V + Det + N. Det: Stamm eines Artikels (ohne Flexionsendung); N: Nomen (Substantiv); V: Verb; in diese Kette können dann unflektierte Formen der entsprechenden Wortarten eingesetzt werden: D- + Jung- + seh- + d- + Mädchen. Dies wäre eine semantisch interpretierte Tiefenstruktur. Durch eine Reihe weiterer Regeln können daraus die drei eingangs erwähnten Sätze hergeleitet werden.
[1] The sentences: "The boy sees the girl", "The girl is seen by the boy", "because the boy sees the girl" can be derived from the same depth structure This depth structure can be derived in an early version The transformation grammar appear like this: det n v det N. det: trunk of an article (without flexion) ole: noun (noun); V: verb; In this chain, undeflected forms of the corresponding parts of speech can then be inserted: d-young-see girl. This would be a semantically interpreted depth structure. With a number of other rules, the three sentences mentioned at the beginning can be derived.[1] Das Konzept der Tiefenstruktur sieht in der generativen Semantik, in der Kasusgrammatik und in den späteren Nachfolgern der generativen Transformationsgrammatik wieder anders aus.
[1] The concept of the depth structure sees the generative semantics, in case grammar and later successors of the generative transformation grammar again[1] „Absicht und Leistung der generativen Transformationsgrammatik bestehen darin, komplexe sprachliche Sachverhalte auf möglichst einfache und übersichtliche Strukturen zurückzuführen und die Komplexität aus Transformationen dieser sogenannten Tiefenstrukturen zu interpretieren.“
[1] "Integration and performance of the generative transformation grammar are to attribute complex linguistic facts to the most simple and clear structures and to interpret the complexity from transformations of these so -called depth structures"[1] „Die Tiefenstrukturen werden als Eingabe für die semantische Interpretation des Satzes relevant.“
[1] "The depth structures are relevant as input for the semantic interpretation of the sentence"How do you pronounce Tiefenstruktur?
