FAQ: German Noun Gender Patterns
Which noun endings are always feminine?
Endings like -ung (Übung), -heit (Freiheit), -keit (Möglichkeit), and -schaft (Freundschaft) are 100% feminine. Additionally, professions that end in -in to denote a woman (Lehrerin, Pilotin) are always die.
What is a nominalized verb?
In German, any verb can be turned into a noun by capitalizing it (e.g., essen → das Essen). These "nominalized verbs" are always neuter (das) and describe the act of doing the verb.
Are there rules for seasons and weather?
Yes! Most time-related categories like seasons (der Sommer), months (der Mai), and days of the week are masculine. Weather phenomena like der Regen (rain) or der Schnee (snow) also take the masculine article.
