"The pocket"

Translation: Die Tasche

[Peelyo]

Ugh, Tasche was always 'bag' when I was learning it then they throw this curveball.

[NoStylin]

That curve ball D:...

[linkaz]

So what if your bag has a pocket?

[Gnorian]

I guess you could say the same for what if your bag has a bag, in English.

[bunburya]

Die Tasche hat ein Tasche?

[Dror.Schafer]

Is a pocket in your jeans or jacket also die Tasche?

[Reinhild]

Yes, it is

[Obraka]

Generally yes, but the one in the jean is mostly called Hosentasche

[Gnorian]

I don't get why bags and pockets are feminine. Anyone know the reason?

[bpopes]

I wouldn't try looking for reasons...
Or you will have to find a reason for Mädchen and Kind to be neuter!

[supu1]

Mädchen is neuter because is Mad + chen and all words with suffix "chen" become neuter. Same for equivalent suffix "lein" e.g. Fräulein also neuter. Kind is neuter for the same reason as child in english

[bpopes]

Great! Thanks!

[jhokiok]

It's all for us, Slovak, because we have the same genders in these cases you named and they want us to learn it easily :)

[ossurij]

Almost all nouns ending with the letter e are feminine, (Käse is a notable exception)

[deactivated user]

Ah...but das Gepäck (luggage) is neuter. Best not to get into the "everything in this category is this" mindset.

[TheLCusi]

There usually isn't a reason for most words in most languages.

[Sammapowelly]

Einstecken didn't work, so what is einstecken used for?

[sunlightk]

you should also include Jackentasche for jacket pocket since it is not clear what kind of pocket it is
