Detailed explanation-1: -Because speakers of German generally use ‘he’ to request a ‘spoon’ (der Löffel), ‘she’ to request a ‘fork’ (die Gabel) and ‘it’ to request a ‘knife’ (das Messer), der (and Löffel) must be masculine, die (and Gabel) must be feminine, and das (and Messer) must be neuter.
Detailed explanation-2: -ALL nouns have a gender: either masculine (der), feminine (die), or neuter (das). You need to always know the gender of every noun you learn-otherwise, you won’t be able to use it correctly in a sentence.
Detailed explanation-3: -German has three genders: masculine, m; feminine, f; and neuter, n. Most nouns have one gender or the other but a small number have two or all three.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genders in German were originally intended to signify three grammatical categories that words could be grouped into. The three categories were: endings that indicated that a word was of neutral origin. endings that indicated a group of people or things.
