What you’ll find here
- The dictionary: every noun with its article, plural, meaning, declension and example sentences, plus a short note on why it takes that article.
- Endings and word groups: which endings and meaning groups give away the article, and how reliably.
- Vocabulary by topic and level: the words the app teaches, from A1 to C1.
- The article rules, with examples and exceptions.
Where the entries come from
Meanings, example sentences and declension tables come from Wiktionary, the free dictionary, under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. Each entry links to its source. English versions of the definitions are machine translated; the short English meanings at the top of a noun page are the ones chosen and reviewed for the app.
How we check
- The words the app teaches are checked against a second dictionary, meaning by meaning, so that a word with two meanings and two articles, like der See (lake) and die See (sea), is taught with the right one.
- The percentages on the endings pages are counted, not assumed: across nouns with exactly one article in a German dictionary, leaving out compounds, which follow their last word instead. Endings that are often taught as rules but don’t hold up are shown as unreliable.
- Levels A1 to C1 follow the app’s curriculum, which is built on common course and exam word lists.
