Containers
Here is a summary of the vocabulary covered in this section. The first table will list the different types of container in which products come, and the second table will list the names of products itself.
From now on, we shall indicate the plurals of each of these nouns by the use of brackets. The plural of (for instance) die Tüte is die Tüten. We would show this plural formation by writing die Tüte (-n). Similarly, the plural of der Becher is die Becher. To show that this noun does not change in the plural - although the article always does! - we would write der Becher (-). When the stem of a noun changes, and not just the ending, we will aim to write the new plural out in full.
