de or het: learn the article with the word, always 🏷️
About two-thirds of Dutch nouns take "de". Guessing "de" is a good default, but: · Always write new words with their article on your flashcard: het huis, de tafel. · Groups that are always het: diminutives (-je), languages (het Nederlands), infinitives used as nouns (het eten), most words with ge- or be- at the start (het gesprek, het bezoek — with exceptions). · When in doubt, look it up — the vocabulary pages on EUpassway show de/het for every noun.
