Nouns

Nouns are a simple thing in German, there are just a few little things you should keep in mind.

1. Nouns have to be capitalized.
   Doing so will make the world a better place... probably. Gladly there are no exceptions here, so always capitalize the first letter of a noun. Please don't capitalize all letters, shouting nouns at people won't make your German sound more right. (really!)
   
   
2. Plural nouns often end with an e.
   Often does not mean always. Simply adding an "s" to form the plural grants you a 97% chance to do it wrong. Words that end with an "e" will often form their plural by adding an "n".
   
   
3. The grammatical gender usually doesn't make any sense.
   Each noun has its own grammatical gender, but it seldoms correspond with the real gender. The grammatical gender will determine the correct article for each word.
