Answer:

ein and eine don't have a direct translation to English but you can look at it as "a" or "an".

Step-by-step explanation:

"ein" stands for an unidentified thing that is either Masculin or Neutral.

"eine" stands for an unidentified thing that is Feminine.

Example:

Ein-Mann (Man) (Masculine)

Eine-Frau (Woman) (Feminine)

Ein-Auto (Car) (Neutral)

Eine-Tafel (Board) (Feminine)

You can always check for the gender of a word by using: "Der, Die, Das"\

Hope this helps if you need more help Don't be afraid to let me know

Have a good day,

Seth
