Abstract

One of the topics neglected in our German instruction is that of foreign nouns, especially those of masculine and neuter gender. The feminine foreign nouns are easily recognized because of their relatively frequent endings (-ie, -ik, -ion, -tilt, -age, etc.), and their plural offers no difficulties since it conforms to the general scheme of the feminines (-en). It is, however, helpful to emphasize that practically all foreign nouns of masculine and neuter gender belong to the -e declension (usually called the second declension) and to the fourth (weak) and mixed declensions.
