GERMAN VOCAB HELP!!! (accompanied by a list of foods, mainly fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc)
Hello everyone!
I'm Hollyleaf, and I'm starting this German Vocab Help Thingy because I feel that Duolingo doesn't provide a sufficient amount of vocabulary on many things. (Note: I haven't finished Food 2 yet so I can only speak for Food 1.) I also feel like they should add the plural form of the noun with the vocab, so I'll be adding that too. (Note: some nouns are collective)
I'll add more as I go, but here I go for now! (Feel free to comment on whatever you think I'm missing so I can add it!) (Another note: some of these are repeats from Duolingo. I'm trying to make this as complete as possible.)

Many thanks! In case you have a big appetite, der Fisch can have a plural: die Fische.
Hi Hollyleaf,
- der Apfel - die Äpfel
- der Baum - die Bäume
- die Beere - die Beeren
- die Süßigkeit(en)
- das Brot - die Brote
- das Ei - die Eier
- die Eiscreme (without plural)
- die Garnele
- der Granatapfel - die Granatäpfel
- die grüne Bohne - die grünen Bohnen
- der Hai - die Haie
...and so on
Yes, I have seen it. But please have a look at your list. There are some typos. And you have forgotten the articles in the plural. (They are not always identical.)
But plurals are always "die" -- the list is not inflected (i.e., it shows the nominative)
What a helpful list! Could you add gluten frei grains? I can give you a list. I was so worried I was going to poison myself in Deutschland. If not, I can try to compile a list!
I'll try to compile a list of words in English and their gfree Deutsch counterparts.
