I wonder if Latin words in european languages also inherit gender from Latin in most cases. That would make life a bit easier, as shared Latin words would all have the same gender.
This tripped me up learning German, too. Nouns all have genders.
And literally the word โgirlโ is gender-neutral rather than gender-female, because letโs just make things as unintuitive as possible.
I agree. German is such a stupid language - no consistency and a hell of a lot of exceptions. I am happy that German is my mother tongue and feel bad for people that have to or want to learn it. Okay, that sounded more negative than I meant it.
Nah pretty easy. Correct German sentence:
Dass das "das", das "das" und das "dass", das das "daร" ersetzt, gleich klingen, ist verwirrend.
But german also has multitalents :)
