FEMININE NOUN: die MützeIch möchte die blau___ Mütze kaufen.

Explanation
The correct answer is "e". In German, the adjective endings change depending on the gender, case, and number of the noun they are describing. In this case, "blau" is an adjective describing the noun "Mütze" (hat) which is a feminine noun. When the adjective is describing a feminine noun in the accusative case, it takes the ending "-e". Therefore, the correct form is "blaue".

NEUTER NOUN: das HemdIch möchte das blau___ Hemd kaufen.

The correct answer is "e" because "blau" is an adjective that describes the noun "Hemd" (shirt) and in German, neuter nouns are preceded by the article "das". Therefore, the correct form of the adjective is "blaue" to match the neuter gender of the noun.

Rate this question:

13.

NEUTER NOUN: das HemdIch möchte ein neu___ Hemd kaufen.

In this sentence, the speaker wants to buy a new shirt. The word "Hemd" is a neuter noun in German, so the correct pronoun to use is "es".
