Der and das

Still confusing der and das...

I am unsure when to use which German article. (Der, die, das)

What Markus wrote is generally right, but I would suggest not to spend too much time figuring out the right articles. To be honest, even native speakers make mistakes with these, especially in spoken language.

Try to go with rule Markus mentioned: "der" for "males", "die" for "females" and "das" for "objects".

Additionally, use a website like http://dict.leo.org where you can enter an English keyword and it will give you the German translation with the right article. In my opinion it is easier to just remember them than trying to learn the rules.

With the words you use often (in letters or in chat) the right article will sooner or later "stick" naturally.
