Der, die or das Land? The correct article and plural

Der, die or das?

das Land

neuter noun · country · level A2

The plural

die Länder - in the plural, every German noun takes the article die.

Why das?

"Land" doesn't follow any of the 35 gender rules - it belongs to the words you learn together with their article, as one unit: das Land. That's exactly what the app's spaced repetition is for.
