In German it's a bit complicated:
- die See (fem.), alt. das Meer (neutr.) - the sea (a saltwater ocean)
- der See (masc.) - the lake (an inland freshwater lake)
But then again, "das Meer" is sometimes used for freshwater lakes when connotated with some context, e.g. "das Schwäbische Meer" as an alternative name for "Lake Constance".
