What's the difference between 'Nachbar' and 'Nachbarn'?

I have a vocabulary worksheet that says: Nachbarn, der, -n

but my dictionary says 'Nachbar(in)'

I read that 'Nachbarn' is the plural, but in that case, the article would be 'die' and not 'der' so I'm a little confused

Der Nachbar (Singular) and Die Nachbarn (plural)
Die Nachbarin is the Female singular which means Female Neighbor. you can differentiate by looking at the word "in" for female. Example: Der Automatiker (Male) and Die Automatikerin (Female)

    Was ist ein Automatiker? Ich kenne Autisten, Automechaniker und Asthmatiker, aber sowas?

Nachbarn is third grammatical case, example: ich habe den Nachbarn gesehen (i've seen the neighbor).
But it's true, its also the plural!

    ”Nachbarn” is also Dativ. I would prefer those terms instead of numbering, because the sequence in some grammar books isn’t always clear.

    Ich habe den Nachbarn gesehen (i've seen the neighbor). is for one neighbor. This sentence is also right.

(der) Nachbar is the singular and (die) Nachbarn is the plural and includes men and women. The female form is (die) Nachbarin (singular) and (die) Nachbarinnen (plural)
