minus-squareSanctimoniousApe@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 years agoFuck me - I’m still stuck on when to use “der,” “die,” or “das.”
minus-squareAGuyAcrossTheInternet@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up42·2 years agoIt’s simple, you use ‘der’ when using ‘the’ is appropriate. ‘Die’, on the other hand, is equivalent to ‘the’ and takes those places instead. Then comes ‘das’ which means ‘the’ and you can just map that to its English equivalent. Hope it helps! :)
