FAQ: German N-Deklination (N-Declension) Quiz
What is the German N-Deklination?
Certain masculine German nouns require an ‘n’ or ‘en’ ending in all cases except the nominative singular. This means that instead of adding an ‘s’ for the genitive case, you add ‘n’ or ‘en.’
Example:
- Die Wohnung des Studenten ist schön (The student’s apartment is nice).

What are the rules of the N-Declension?
| Characteristic | Examples |
| People, job titles, nationalities | der Kollege, der Kroate |
| Animals | der Rabe, der Hase |
| Noun ends with –and | Proband |
| Noun ends with –ant | der Kommandant, Sekundant |
| Noun ends with –ent | der Student, der Präsident |
| Noun ends with –oge | der Biologe, der Geologe |
| Noun ends with –ad | der Kamerad |
| Noun ends with –at | der Bürokrat |
