"Das Ei, die Eier."

Translation: The egg, the eggs.

[ArdentAshley]

Couldn't the correct answer also be "that egg, those eggs" or "this egg, these eggs"?

[Yumzaus]

No that would then be diese oder dieses oder dieser I believe.
"der", "die" and "das" all literally translate to "the".

[manuarzt]

The best should always be this way at first!

[bucko]

This type of sentence is really helpful for remembering genders, articles and plurals, I'd love to see more examples of this please!

[marziotta]

Very very nice thing! I will suggest it in the Feedback field straight away!

[topkekyolo]

Exactly, every new or solo word should be like this. It helps a lot.

[SimkinTheWizard]

Why is egg feminine in plural form?

[username9009]

all plural nouns are "die"

[SWgeek10056]

All of them? no exceptions? this would be very helpful for my memorization/learning of der/die/das.

[username9009]

Yes. All nouns use "die" in their plural form, regardless of the gender of the singular form.

der Mann, die Männer

das Ei, die Eier

die Katze, die Katzen

Edit: I forgot to mention that when you learn about dative and genitive cases, the rules are a little different.

I cant think of a context where this would make sense in English
