How to say a king name in German / some article questions Hallo :) How do I read a Kind / queen name in German? For example, in English Albert II (the formal Belgium king), is read like Albert the second. How do I read this in German? also... Which one is right? Ich habe Auto, Apfel und Kuli oder Ich habe das Auto, den Apfel und den Kuli oder Ich habe ein Auto, einen Apfel und einen Kuli German articles are always so confusing.... Danke :)

Single nouns are NEVER used without any article, so "Ich habe Auto, Haus, Kuli" is NEVER correct. Only if the plural form is used, the article can be left out: "Ich habe Autos, Häuser, Kulis" For a start, think about whether you'd use the definite or indefinite article in English (because the use is similar), and then try to remember where the use differs from German (because it's not always the same). Hope that helps a little :)

1.Albert der Zweite. 2.es gibt bestimmte und unbestimmte Artikel. Wenn du nur sagen willst das du irgendein Auto hast, dann hast du EIN Auto, wenn du ein ganz bestimmtes Auto unter vielen zu verstehen geben willst, hast du DAS Auto.
