Some Patterns to Note in This Quiz:
a
Once you know some basic gender rules, you can confidently draw rational conclusions when encountering new nouns. Any noun ending with
Kind
, for instance, will always be neuter:
Enkelkind
,
Einzelkind
. Any noun ending with
Schwester
will always be feminine:
Zwillingsschwester
,
Halbschwester
.
b
Jobs denoting a male worker often finish with
-er
; when a woman does the same job, the same word is used, but with the feminine ending
-in
tacked on. Examples in this quiz include
der Wissenschaftler
and
die Wissenschaftlerin
.
c
Of the nine words ending in -e in this quiz, all are
feminine
except two important exceptions:
das Wochenende
and
das Interesse
. Some estimates are that 80%-90% of all German nouns ending in -e are feminine. This is a helpful rule of thumb, but you should focus carefully on the exceptions.
