The girl one was always funny to me. “The girl ran to its mother.”
Comment on why
kossa@feddit.org 2 days agoYeah, no, it doesn’t make sense:
Der Mann (the man - male article)
Die Frau (the woman - female article)
Der Junge (the boy - male article)
Das Mädchen (the girl - neutral article)
Like, come on gendered articles, you had one job.

Anything with -chen/-klein (a diminutive) is neuter.
E.g. in addition to Mädchen there is Jungchen (~“youngster”) that is also neuter rather than masculine.

Maid. Man kann sich auch lernresistenter geben als man ist.
