Capitalizing Nouns
In German, all nouns are capitalized.
For example, “my name” is “mein Name,”
and “the apple” is “der Apfel.”
This helps you identify which are the nouns in a sentence.
Umlauts
Umlauts are the two dots you see above some vowels in German words, such as in “Mädchen.” Literally, “Umlaut” means “around the sound,” because its function is to change how the vowel sounds.
An umlaut can sometimes indicate the plural of a word.
For example, the plural of “Mutter” (mother) is “Mütter.”
