Question about German
What does Why is there a feminine/pl article "die" after " du gibst" in the following phrase? It doesn't seem to agree with any nouns.
"Du gibst die einen Teil von den Nudeln in eine Form, dann legst du Käse darauf und dann wieder dasselbe nur mit den Tomaten." mean?

@vi_88 it would be "the one [part]", like this:
"you put the one part of the noodles into the dish[...]"
I guess in English, you don't use the structure like that, but in German, you use "den einen", especially if you multiple "parts" of something. A better example would be this:
"Du gibst den einen Teil von den Nudeln in die Form[...] und dann den anderen Teil" which means "You add (the) one part of the noodles into the dish[...] and then the other one".

Don't worry, the sentence itself is just wrong 😉
you would normally say "Du gibst den einen Teil von den Nudeln [...]."

@Jesse0 it makes sense now! But I'm still a bit confused about this structure "den einen...", with both definite and indefine article. Would it mean "the one [part]" or "the only [part]" like in english? Thank you very much!!
