The ol mnemonic my German professor taught me about remembering the German articles:
Rese
Nese
Merman
Sister Sister

I took several years of German in highschool and in college and this doesn't make any sense to me. Explain please?

It’s a way to remember the case endings.

Last letter of definite article endings deR diE daS diE etc.

Not op but I have a hunch,

The mnemonic is to remember the differences,

DeR - Rese

deN - Nese

DeM deM - MerMan

deS deS - Sister Sister.

If you look at the image, you get, for example:

deR diE daS diE

The third and fourth like don't match up as nicely, but I think it's specifically the endings for each
