Gender flips from Portuguese — plus a neuter

o sol → DIE Sonne, a lua → DER Mond, and German adds a third gender (das). Don’t carry the Portuguese article over — learn each German noun fresh.

Case in the article, not word order

Portuguese shows roles with word order and prepositions; German changes the article itself (der → den → dem). Watch the verb/preposition — it picks the case.

Verb to the end in subclauses

Portuguese keeps the verb mid-sentence; after weil/dass/wenn German pushes the conjugated verb to the very end.

core challenge

Noun gender (der/die/das)

German gender is largely unpredictable and must be learned with each noun. Learn the article WITH the word.

core challenge

Case endings (Nom/Akk/Dat/Gen)

Articles and adjectives change with case. Watch the verb/preposition — it decides the case.

core challenge

Verb to the end in subclauses

After weil/dass/wenn the conjugated verb goes to the very end. English keeps it next to the subject.
