Thank you for making "het" & "de" so easy to understand! Is it possible you can explain the adjectives rule as well. I hope it isn't too much to ask.

Hartelijk, een gemakkelijke manier om de of het te leren 😊. De kerstboom, de luidspreker, de meteoriet. Het tafelkleed, het hart en het gommetje.

Just for correction, it’s Het Turks because it’s a language , while De Turkse Taal is “ De “ because Taal is De. Because “ Turkse “ here is an adjective for the word Taal, and it gets an E at the end

Hi, I notice that the "namen van talen" is under "het". But shouldn't it be under "de"?

[@CouldBeMathijs]

het Nederlands, het Latijn, het Arabisch, maar wel de Nederlandse taal, de Arabische taal

[@s.yaqoub3764]

Sorry, u zei namen van talen "het" krijgen.
Dus" het Turkse taal".

[@CouldBeMathijs]

Neen, ik denk dat ze bedoelde "Het Turks", net als het Engels, het Nederlands, het Latijn, het Groenlands. Maar wel de Turkse taal, de Engelse taal, de Nederlandse taal, de Groenlandse taal...
