Deciding whether to use der, die or das in German can seem very random, but you can get the hang of it. Remember to learn new nouns along with the appropriate word for the!

masculine	feminine	neuter
der Baum(-äe) der Berg der Wind der Mond der Himmel der Stern	die Natur die Luft die Blume die Erde die Sonne	das Feuer das Meer

Fresh, clean Luft is very important to Germans! Even in winter, Germans will open windows for a few minutes to get the fresh air in.

If you visit Germany in the summer, be aware that air conditioning and screens are uncommon in European homes. Be sure to pack for the season!

Die Luft ist sauber. The air is clean.
