It's The Ukraine in German and many other gendered languages. In German it's the feminine gender (die) and cannot be avoided when constructing sentences because the article used can completely change the meaning of the sentence.
- happymellon 11mo ago> It's The Ukraine in German They did not write in German. > the article used can completely change the meaning of the sentence. As it does in English, hence why I'm calling them out for using 1991 Soviet phrasing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18233844 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18233844
- zwnow 11mo agoI wasn't even alive in 1991, why would I think about 34 year old phrasing?
