How do I know whether a word is 'Der/Die or Das'?

There is no simple or unique rule for telling the gender of a word so it is important to learn the gender with the word when you are learning new vocaulary. However, there are some common word endings that tend to match with a specific gender: Der: -en-el-ling-ismus-ner-ig-ich-er Die: -ung-schaft-ion-heit-keit-tat-age-enz-esse-euse-ur, -ik, -e
