Genus Glossary of terms

The Genus is the grammatical category that classifies nouns as masculine, feminine, or neuter in German.

Detailed Explanation

The grammatical gender in German affects not only the nouns themselves but also the articles, adjectives, and pronouns that accompany them. It does not always coincide with natural gender and can differ between similar words in German and English.

Learning the gender of each noun is crucial for speaking German correctly, as it influences the declension of articles and adjectives.
