Aber: Lied – Liedchen
lugal
Und Magd war damals noch ein neutraler Ausdruck
Mein Chef hat neulich Signal als "WhatsApp für Arme" bezeichnet... als ob letzteres was kosten würde
I inserted a comma to make my meaning more clear, I hope. I'm not a native speaker so sorry if it was ambiguous
When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I'm not young anymore.
Actually it's older than people think. Shakespeare used it for stuff like "Every knight grabbed their sword", and even for talking about a specific person it's not a new phenomenon to use singular they if the gender doesn't matter (so I was told in a linguistics sub over on r*ddit when I insisted it was new)
The only new thing is that people say, it's their prefered pronoun.
I'm not talented to do it myself but if someone will make a kiki version of it, I will upvote it
"The E makes the vowel say its name."
Maybe that helps: there is always one (or rather never more than one) strongly declined element before the noun.
Ich fahre das blaue Auto. (Definite articles are always strong)
Ich fahre ein blaues Auto. (Indefinite articles are most often weak so the adjective is strong)
Eines schönen Tages. (I said most often. Genitive singular indefinite articles are strong, obviously)
Thinking in terms of strong and weak declination is key. But maybe it's obvious. It wasn't for me when I learned about it in linguistic lectures in university.
The joke is that many, if not most, English dialects merge /ʌ/ with schwa but insist that the sounds are different because schwa is never stressed
What's the big problem which (our) German adjectives? Is it about the weak and strong declination and sometimes they are undecliend or what's the point?
I think since the last update (0.19) federating is buggy also with other instances.
