Der Vater oder ein Vater? German has a definite article and an indefinite article just like English.
Now, I don't generally have to worry about gender (per se) in most of my nouns but it is bloody hard remembering whether a table is masculine (DE) or feminine (FR, IT).
- danmaz74 8y agoTo complicate things, in Italian "table" exists both as "tavolo" (male) and "tavola" (female). The female version is more often used for "plank" than "table", except in some specific expressions like "andare a tavola" (let's sit at the table to eat). No idea why.
