Neuter Nouns: das

Nouns that use the article “das” in German are called neuter nouns. Neuter nouns are a class of nouns that have the gender “das”. They are typically objects that are not animate or that are not considered to be masculine or feminine.

Here are some examples of neuter nouns:

• Das Haus (the house)
• Das Buch (the book)
• Das Auto (the car)
• Das Kind (the child)
• Das Tier (the animal)

Neuter nouns are typically formed by adding the suffix “-chen” or “-lein” to a masculine or feminine noun. For example, the neuter noun “das Buchlein” (the little book) is formed by adding the suffix “-lein” to the masculine noun “das Buch” (the book).

Neuter nouns also have a special form of the adjective declension. For example, the adjective “gut” (good) becomes “gutes” (good) when it modifies a neuter noun.
