| Kasus | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominativ | die Bluse | die Blusen |
| Akkusativ | die Bluse | die Blusen |
| Dativ | der Bluse | den Blusen |
| Genitiv | der Bluse | der Blusen |
Meaning and useful combinations
Bluse is feminine and forms the plural Blusen. The ending e alone does not determine every noun's gender.
Useful combinations: eine Bluse anprobieren; eine seidene Bluse; die Blusenärmel. Practise each as a complete phrase; the article belongs to the noun even when an adjective comes between them.
