The first thing you need to understand is it&#8217;s not related to the perceived gender of the noun it is attached to. Here are a couple of quick examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">der<\/span><\/strong> Bikini \u21e8 the bikini<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">die<\/span><\/strong> Krawatte \u21e8 the tie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, traditionally a bikini is worn by women so your first instinct would be that it&#8217;s a feminine item and therefore would use <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">die<\/span><\/strong>. Also, ties are associated more with men and therefore you would normally perceive the gender as masculine and use the <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">der<\/span><\/strong> article. As you can see from the two examples above, these are the opposite of what you would expect. Therefore it&#8217;s important to get the idea out of your mind straight away that the articles <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">der<\/span><\/strong>, <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">die<\/span><\/strong> or <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">das<\/span><\/strong> have anything to do with the noun itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, you should try to learn the correct article with each noun as you learn them. When learning a word, learn the article too and test yourself on the noun including the article. However, there are a few general rules you can learn to help you in those situations where you don&#8217;t know whether to use <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">der<\/span><\/strong>, <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">die<\/span><\/strong> or <strong><span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">das<\/span><\/strong>. Most of the rules relate to the ending of the word as this is often what denotes which article you should use.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #fba90c;\">Guidelines when to use der, die and das<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<table class=\"grammar-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>Tip<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>All these guidelines below are great to learn to give you a good head start when trying to decide whether a noun is <span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">der<\/span>, <span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">die<\/span> or <span style=\"color: #de2c2c;\">das<\/span>.
