German has three definite articles: der, die, das (bestimmter Artikel) and two indefinite articles: ein, eine (unbestimmter Artikel).
These articles may be slightly altered as a result of the 4 "cases" - Nominative (subject), Genitive (possessive), Dative (indirect object) and Accusative (direct object) giving the following variations:
die - der
der - des - dem - den
das - des - dem
eine - einer
ein - eines - einem - einen (last form only used with masculine nouns)

∙ 13y agoYes; which article is used depends on the gender of the noun (masculine, feminine, neuter) and the case of the noun in the sentence (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive).

∙ 14y agoIn German there are the three articles "der" (for masculine substantives), "die" (for feminine substantives) and "das" (for neutral substantives; neuter) for the English article "the". Which article is given to which word depends on the gender of the word. For someone being English this may be hard to understand, I think, but in German each word has its own gender.
For instance:
der Hase - the rabbit ("Hase" is masculine)
die Frau - the woman ("Frau" is feminine)
das Haus - the house ("Haus" is neuter)
But beware: The articles can change according to the case of the word.

∙ 13y agoDefinite:
- der (for masculine noun) > der Mann (the man);
- die (for feminine noun) > der Frau (the woman);
- das (for neutral noun) > das Auto (the car);
IN PLURAL: die (masc., fem. or neutral)
Indefinite:
- ein (masc.) > ein guter Hund (a good dog);
- eine (fem.) > eine schöne Stadt (a beautiful town/city);
- ein (neut.) > ein kleines Land (a small country);
IN PLURAL: einige (masc., fem. or neutral).
Anyway these forms are used for subject case!
