You might have heard before that one of the crazy things
in German language is that everything has a gender, even
though it might be just a thing. They can be feminine,
masculine or neutral. And then there is absolutely no
logic in this issue. For instance is the German baby
a neutral.
 |
Das
Baby schläft. = The baby sleeps
Es schläft.
= It sleeps. |
|
|
But there are other weird combinations, too.
Things only get easier in plural forms because there
is no difference between the genders of the words.
 |
Die
Frauen lesen. = The woman are reading.
Sie lesen =
They are reading.
Die Männer lesen.
= The men are reading.
Sie lesen =
They are reading.
Die Babys lesen.
= The babies are reading.
Sie lesen =
They are reading. |
