This question already has an answer here:

I keep using this dictionary but I don't know what does it means. The first one I know is the gender and the last one is the plural form but how about the middle one.

    This is a duplicate question. Read the answer to the linked question to learn details. Here the short answer: Nominativ singular: »der Plan«. Genitiv singular: »des Planes« or »des Plans« (two different genitive forms). Nominativ plural: »die Pläne« (The dot in the word marks syllable borders). – Hubert Schölnast May 6 '18 at 8:16

    Practically, it shouldn’t make a difference for this question, but the other question is in German, so we do not technically consider it a duplicate. – Carsten S May 6 '18 at 11:02

The part behind the article is the genitive ending as already commented.

»Was fällt dir zu Politik ein?«
»Verarschung ist Teil des Plan[e]s.«

The optional »e« is rarely used.

    Es klingt einfach netter ;-) – πάντα ῥεῖ May 6 '18 at 11:20
  • Was hat Dich denn zur Rückänderung bewogen, bzw. warum verwendest Du in dem Kontext "Verarschung"? – πάντα ῥεῖ May 6 '18 at 11:43

    @πάντα ῥεῖ: Das ist doch nur ein Beispielsatz, der mit nichts außerhalb des Beispiels zu tun hat, ich will damit nichts kommentiert haben, was mit der Frage zu tun hat. – Pollitzer May 6 '18 at 13:06
  • Es hat halt ein "Gschmäckle", deshalb hatte ich es editiert. – πάντα ῥεῖ May 6 '18 at 13:10
