Guten Tag! Hello! Welcome to German Stories, your audio drama series for learning German. This is episode 10. Türkei, Türke, Türkisch. Turkey, Turk, Türkisch.

Last time Paul admitted he got into trouble for being late for work the other day. Let's see what happens today. We will learn how to ask for names and origin and we'll talk about languages.

We will compare the indefinite articles ein, eina with the definite articles der die das and also the countries like Türkei with the nationality nouns like Türk and the languages like Türkisch.

By the way, if that seems confusing or if you have a hard time memorizing German words and phrases, check out the Immersive Learning Mini-App on our website. It lets you play with words, pictures and audio while it slowly spoon feeds you the vocabulary.

And now let's look at today's little piece of grammar. We had three definite articles so far. And they all mean the in English. Now let's take a closer look at their indefinite counterparts.

Ein and Einer. Both mean a in English. I'll compare three nouns. One masculine, der, one neuter, das and one feminine, d.

Der and das become ein.

Die USA and die Türkei must come together with their article die.
