Kinda offtopic: I find it interesting and a little bit disturbing to read "Der Spiegel". "Der" is the German male form of "the" and the Spiegel uses it in the title like "The New York Times".
For me as a German the comments here read like: A "The New York Times" article stated... which is odd, everyone usually drops the "the", if it doesn't fit.
- yhoneycomb 8y agoHmm interesting. So it would make more sense to you to read "The Spiegel's article..."?
- ascar 8y agoYes. We also change the "der" in German newspapers. E.g. "at the Spiegel" "bei dem Spiegel" or "in an article of the Spiegel" "in einem Bericht des Spiegels".
