      Yes. All "D"s at the end of a word sound like "T".

        Why does "das" not work here? Coulda sworn I saw it used in an example earlier.

            Das kind ---- the child Und Ein kind ----- A child

            Thin is the defferent between "Ein" und "Das"

              If it's not strictly feminine, is the masculine (for example Ein Kind vs. Eine Kind) used?

                No, "Kind" is always neuter.

                  What is the difference between "ein" and "eine" ? When is each used?

                    You use "ein" for the neuter and masculine form and "eine" for the feminine form - ein Mann (m), ein Kind (n), eine Frau (f)

                          I believe Kinder means children while Kind is child.
