German: "Der Junge, n"?

Question

Der Junge is "The Boy", right?

What is the "n" for?

Answer 1

'Der Junge' is the singular.

'Die Jungen' is the plural - many German nouns ending in 'e' in the singular become 'en' in the plural.

Answer 2

The "n" is just included to let you know how the plural of the noun is formed. German nouns have very irregular plural formations, so a lot of times they will include after the noun like an "e" or "n" to show you how it is formed. So "Der Junge" the boy becomes "Die Jungen" the boys.  

Answer 3

it would be quite difficult to explain all the forms in which this N is possible, not only for plural forms

for example,,  

the boy's bag...(the bag from the boy)

die Tasche des Jungen  

in some cases in german you have to put the N on the end to show the "case" of the word (des Jungen---from the boy) ...

i just gave you this example to prove that it exists..you'd have to really learn german grammar to understand..that's why further i won't bohter you

Der Junge, des Jungen, dem Jungen, den Jungen...

Answer 4

Yes, and the ", n" indicates that the plural is formed by adding an "n".

Answer 5

For plural   ... Die Jungen  (the boys)
