Der - Die -Das- are the 3 articles in german in english all translate 'the'

with each noun you need to know whether it is masculine feminine or neutral to put the right article in dictionarys it is signed out .
You have all the articles there in the nominativ case if you need further information on the declination let me know.

Der In German

Definite article - 'the' in the nominative.
Der - masculine
Die - feminine and plural
Das - neutral.
These articles change depending on whether the noun is in the nominative, accusative, dative or genitive.

Both 'das' and 'dass' mean 'that' in German, though both have different grammatical functions. 'Das' (which also functions as the definite article of neuter nouns in the nominative and accusative grammatical cases), when used to mean 'that', functions either as a relative pronoun or a demonstrative pronoun. 'Dass', on the other hand, functions as a conjunction. Thus, clareydairy's use of 'dass' is incorrect, as it is functioning as a relative pronoun. In this instance, 'dass' should be 'das', i.e.: 'Ich lese dieses Buch, das ich gestern gekauft habe'. Incidentally, use of either 'das' as a relative pronoun or 'dass' always sends the first verb, auxiliary or otherwise, to the end of the clause (not necessarily, however, the sentence). The following are examples of all three grammatical functions of 'das' and 'dass' that I have mentioned: *'das' as a demonstrative pronoun 'Das ist mein Auto' ('That is my car') *'das' as a relative pronoun 'Frankreich ist ein Land, das ich liebe' ('France is a country that I love') *'dass' as a conjunction 'Sie sagte, dass sie mich liebe' ('She said that she loves me') In the following sentence I have used the word 'das' thrice; once as a demonstrative pronoun, once as a definite article (English: the), and once as a relative pronoun: 'Das ist das Kind, das die Bonbons genommen hat'. ('That is the child that took the sweets')

RE:
What is the difference between "Das", "Die" and "Der" in German???

They all mean "the".
Der is for masculine singular nouns, nominative case.
Das for neuter singular nouns, nominative case.
Die for feminine singular and all plural nouns, nominative case.
Der is also genetive and dative of die.
Don't get me started on deren and dessen!

like the others said...
der= masculine
die= feminine
das= neuter
die= plural
if your confused about which means which(like i was before i noticed this in high school)...
die= eine (finishes with an "e")
der= einen (2nd from last is an "e")
das= ein (no "e")
