    Also bonus content:

    singular: “das Mädchen” (neutral) - the girl

    plural: “die Mädchen” (female) - the girls

    So in the plural form you have to use a female article again, but the actual spelling of the word is unchanged. Go figure 🤷‍♂️ 🇩🇪.

        Well at least it consistently unlogical. But wait: it actually depends on the grammatical case for example:

        die Mädchen = the girls das Haus der Mädchen = the house of the girls // the girls’ house

        So depending on context male, female, neutral articles are all used (der Mädchen, die Mädchen, das Mädchen) 🤷‍♂️
