Der, die or das?

der Empfänger

masculine noun · recipient · level A2

The plural

die Empfänger - in the plural, every German noun takes the article die.

Why der?

"Empfänger" doesn't follow any of the 35 gender rules - it belongs to the words you learn together with their article, as one unit: der Empfänger. That's exactly what the app's spaced repetition is for.
