"De" of "het" in Dutch

A lot of words in Dutch are gendered. This means it's very important to learn soon which ones are a "de" word or a "het" word. Its the same as "La" ou "Le" in French if YKWIM.
Can you add an option to show if the word, when single, is "het" or "de" ? (Or you can make the app write the word direclty with the good word instead of "een" which means "a /an" in Dutch.

Hi Alissa, thank you for your post. I am merging your idea into an existing one related to this topic "Add gender article when saving a word" to consolidate votes and keep things organized.✌️Michaela from DuoCards

The same with German

Yes ! I just posted a request on this ! In French or Dutch, every word is written with "a" in front of, which makes me need look for the good article gender, and change it manually on every card. What a waste of time !

Add me to this comment. Particularly because it's not always obvious by ending which gender some nouns are.

Allow adding gender hints to the word

As a workaround currently i can often choose a different image with some other prevalent color to help me correlate the word and gender (i.e. blue for masculine, red for feminine, gray for neuter), but often such image with desired color doesn't exist and even if it exists, then finding it is annoying.
It would be better if i could select a custom image border color instead of trying to replace the image. This wouldn't need big changes in the app logic.
More advanced approach would be to
1) Allowing to set the gender for words or even detecting/inferring the gender automatically (easy for example for Norwegian based on the en/ei/et article for nouns)
2) Showing some visual hint based on inferred gender when asking for the word (like border color or small icon in the corner of the image) if user has enabled the gender hints from the preferences.

I would like to automatically have access to both singular and plural of a noun that is put into a card.

I agree it would be nice to save the base or more common gender and then generate gender/plural versions of the card for learning.

The gender of nouns and the plural form should be explained in the cards

So for example in German, it doesn't make sense to have a flashcard in which the article (gender) and the plural form of the word are not mentioned. For example for "Werk", the explanation should have "das Werk", plural: "die Werke"
