The wonderfully simple German language has a nuance with pronouns where you can use an article as a pronoun, which is something you might do when referring to an animal. I noticed commentators doing this a lot when referring to female athletes, but when they talk about male athletes they use normal pronouns. And a lot of comments in general that just make you think "WTF?".
- 7steps2much 4y agoDo you mean f.e. using "die" or "eine" instead of "sie"? If so then I can chip in with similiar observations down in Austria and southern Germany, though overwhelmingly with males, using "der" instead of "er". Though of course I may have missunderstood what you are actualy referring to.
