"Der Experte"

Translation: The expert

[drlyricx]

please somebody help me

why is it DIE experten and DER experte?

why is there a change in the 'the' ? thanks

[mizinamo]

Because der Experte is singular and die Experten is plural.

So you need the masculine article der for der Experte but the plural article die for die Experten.

And you always have to capitalised nouns -- experte and experten are simply wrong.

I guess that a female expert would be "Die Experterin"???

[Mr_Eyl]

It's just 'Expertin'. It would only be 'Experterin' if the masculine form was 'Experter'.

Expertin

But telling your fellow learners in here will not help fix that.
