Common questions

How many neuter nouns are in German A2?

The A2 list has 50 neuter nouns, out of 558 words at that level and 1,618 neuter nouns from A1 to C2.

Which A2 neuter nouns should I learn first?

Start at the top. The list is sorted by how often a word appears in a large corpus of spoken German, so das Paar, das Team, das Ziel, das Ding, das Fest are the ones you will meet most.

How do I know when a German noun takes "das"?

Diminutives in -chen and -lein are always neuter, as are most nouns in -ment, -um, -ma and -tum, all infinitives used as nouns (das Essen), and most metals. Otherwise, learn the article with the noun.
