Let's break down what Felix and Clara just said.

8. Hanna · Teacher
First, Felix asked: 'Ist das ein Schlüssel?' This means, 'Is that a key?' Because 'Schlüssel' is masculine, 'der Schlüssel', we use 'ein' with no extra ending.

Does 'mein' follow the exact same rule as 'ein'?

10. Hanna · Teacher
Yes, Lukas! 'Mein' and 'dein' match 'ein' perfectly. So 'der Schlüssel' becomes 'ein Schlüssel', 'mein Schlüssel', or 'dein Schlüssel'.

Next, Felix said: 'Das ist meine Tasche.' This means, 'That is my bag.'

12. Lukas · Student
So feminine nouns like 'die Tasche' always add an '-e' at the end?
Audio ready
13. Hanna · Teacher
Spot on! Feminine nouns take 'eine', 'meine', or 'deine'.

14. Hanna · Teacher
Then Clara asked: 'Ist das dein Buch?' That means, 'Is that your book?'
Audio ready
15. Lukas · Student
Since 'Buch' is neuter—'das Buch'—it doesn't get an '-e' ending either, right?
Audio ready
16. Hanna · Teacher
Exactly right! Neuter and masculine nouns share the same plain form: 'ein', 'mein', and 'dein'.
