Tips to remember the German word “der Stuhl”:
1. Use association: Think of a “stool” (which is very similar to the word “Stuhl”) as a type of chair without a backrest, and remember that “Stuhl” is the German word for a regular chair with a backrest.
2. Mnemonic: “Stuhl” sounds a bit like “stool,” so you can picture someone saying, “Stay cool on the stool,” but in German, they’d be saying it about a chair instead.
3. Visual memory: Create a mental image of a sign hanging on a chair that says “Der Stuhl.”

Explanations:
– “Der Stuhl” is a masculine noun in German, as indicated by the definite article “der.”
– The plural form is “die Stühle.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Der Sessel” is another word for a chair in German. However, it is used to refer to an armchair, a more comfortable chair typically with armrests.
– “Der Sitz” can refer more generally to a seat.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In a completely different context, “der Stuhl” can also mean “stool” in the sense of *****, used in a medical context.

Examples of sentences that use it:
– “Ich habe einen neuen Stuhl gekauft.” (I bought a new chair.)
– “Setz dich auf den Stuhl.” (Sit down on the chair.)
– “Wie viele Stühle brauchen wir für den Esstisch?” (How many chairs do we need for the dining table?)
