So yeah. German final coming up, and flash cards are boring. I figure if Sporcle can teach me all the countries in Asia it can get me to know my genders.

	All the vocab from the first five chapters of Wie Geht's, with maximum time allotment because this is supposed to help memorization and all that jazz.

	Useful! There are a few where something went wrong: "every season", "every weekday", "every month". And HaupTstadt, you left out the T. Other than that, there are a number that are plural, so the article is automatically die, and it doesn't tell you anything about the gender of the word... but then I guess those are words that you'll almost always see in plural.

	Kinda reassuring that I do know a lot of these...but then I didn't know a lot of others. Should really take it and see how many I can get on first guess only. One thing: for "See" you ask for "der" to mean sea, but "die See" also exists and means lake.

	Catherine_F:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 14:23 GMT		2 points
	Eek, no, wrong way round - die See is sea and der See is lake. I think!

	I'm just going by my textbook, that's what's right for the final. Thanks for spelling corrections, when I first published this the word for time was Zeir. In any case, "every weekday" and all that is just because there's not enough space for every day, every month and every season and I wanted consistency. As every weekday and so forth is "der" I used that route. As for the plurals, those are what appear in the book, so those are what we need to know. Still, good eye.

	You forgot the c in Fleisch and it is "die Jacke"not "der"

	You asked "See", which can both be masculine (meaning lake), and feminine (meaning sea). "Lebensmittel" is neuter - it can occur in the singular, so you should indicate you mean the plural. I understand now what you mean by "every month", etc. - maybe the description "Names of months" would be better, or just ask for one of them.

	Great quiz....excellent practice! I once again realize how much I suck at the articles despite knowing pretty much every word. What German came up with the rules for the articles,,they don't make any sense. The human brain is amazing that German kids know all these without even thinking about it.

	mowood:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 04:44 GMT		2 points
	juhu- alles geschafft! okay, there were a few i had to take more than one guess at, but still.

	Everything is clear, but you might want to know that your eszetts are all betas: β vs ß

	Crazy:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 17:25 GMT		1 point
	@jjjbbd - there are lots of rules that indicate things for the genders - ending with -e, for example, almost always makes it feminine. And things from other languages are usually das. Plus, when something ends with -chen (meaning little) it becomes das.

	Crazy:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 17:35 GMT		1 point
	@jjjbbd - Those rules aren't always right, though. And also, you can see how when things are specific to one gender, it is that gender (excluding Maedchen, since that happens to end with -chen) - for example, die Freundin, der Freund, die Frau, der Mann, etc. @JayHankEdLyon - Hey, question - shouldn't 'every season' be feminine? After all, it's just 'jede' in front of Jahreszeit, so it should remain the same.

	Joghurt can be everything der, die or das. Everything's correct at this one.
