Common questions

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

Days, months, seasons, weather words, most nouns ending in -er, -ling, -ig, -ismus and -ant are masculine, as are the bare stems of many verbs (der Beginn). Otherwise, learn the article with the noun.

How many German nouns are masculine?

In this 9,060-noun CEFR list, 3,833 take der, about 42%. Across German as a whole the split is roughly 46% die, 34% der and 20% das, so der is a common case.

Do I really have to memorise the gender?

Yes, and it is easier if you never store the bare noun. Say and write "die Frage", not "Frage". The article then comes back as part of the word rather than as a separate decision. The article drill in the practice section tests exactly this.
