"The prison is small."

[nihaoearth12]

Shouldn't it be 'kleine' in the male and female gender because the prison is 'de'??? sooo confused

[Olga451165]

It'd be "kleine" if "kleine" was right before the "gevangenis".. i think

[pprins]

Correct, have a lingot.

[CarolineJanaitis]

"Het gevangenis is klein." was not accepted; instead "gevang" seems to have been required although not offered in the hint. Any idea why? And what is the difference?

[El2theK]

Because you need to use the right article: de gevangenis.

Anybody know the etymology of gevangenis off the top of their head? Or any good tips on remembeing the word?

[Hutze]

It comes from the (indo)german word "fangen" (nl. "fangen", engl. "to catch"), so the gevangenis contains all the people you've caught. No other tip on remembering, sorry :-)

[Hutze]

correcture: the nl word is of course "vangen"
