Yeah, too many bands i've seen, or would rather see in their own concert playing a full set (motorhead for example)

I can't believe Ugly Kid Joe are stilll going....

well for me I've either seen them to many times already, or they are hailed as a very big band, who I don't want to see :p
so overall, I won't miss a thing :p

but it's time for lunch now :)

Nope, it's "das Fenster", so it's neutral. And to make even harder there's a difference between the real and the grammatical gender.

If your dog is female, you say "der Hund" (the dog, male) or "sie" (she, female).

The most annoying case of a difference between real and grammatical gender might be the following one:

"Mädchen", the word for "girl" is a diminutive
(to "Maid", in english the best translation might be "wench", it's archaic and no one really says it),
and all of them are neutral, so grammatically all girls are neutral. If you're talking about a girl, you say "das Mädchen" (the girl, neutral), and if there is a personal pronoun later in the same sentence, it's "es" (it, neutral), because it's referring to the neutral word "Mädchen".
If there is a relative pronoun referring to the same girl one sentence later, it's "sie" (she, female), because the word it refers to is "mädchen", which means a female person, a she.

Did you understand it all? :D

Fuck :o


I'm open to all ideas on how to remember the gender of a word, particularly when I've already translated it into English. I was 13 when I last formally took foreign language classes, so if you have better ideas you'd best tell me.
