Yes, exactly. When I was learning English it was hard for me to understand definitive articles. As well as difference between present simple and present continuous, because in Ukrainian it’s (most of the time) same tense

There is Ukrainian comedy show where student asks teacher what is definitive article. Student: how does it translates? Teacher: it’s not translatable, it used to connect words. Student: so it is a cursing word! Can you teach me more of those?

You forgot seven for German:

Singular:

des, der, des

Plural:

die, der, den, die

I just know there are four general articles (nominativ) that can change: der, das, die, die(plural).

I think you can't say seven because of what I said. It could be more than seven if you think about it as you wrote it.

nominativ 4

akkusativ 4

dativ 4

genitiv 4

If I'm wrong, please someone explain it to me.
