German article

Answer:

EINE

Hint:

It’s the feminine form you’d use before a noun like "Katze" or "Blume."

Explanation:

"German article" is asking for one of the three definite or indefinite articles in German. The answer "EINE" is the feminine indefinite article meaning "a" or "an," like in "eine Frau" (a woman). It’s not "der," "die," or "das" (definite articles) or "ein" (masculine/neuter), so the clue points directly to the feminine form. German learners often recognize this early since it’s a basic grammar word.
