there's no 13 ways for "the", I think Very Happy but genderspecific articles and such...

look at THE <noun>:
der, die, das

look, A <noun>:
ein, eine

look at THIS <noun>:
diese, dieser, dieses(, jenes)

and so on... so we have mostly at least 3 times more articles, because we have 3 different gender for words.
