Translation: Die Zeitung

[sadia061]

Why newspaper is a feminine noun?

Apples are males hehehe

[mareticfilip]

It just is. Maybe there would be less confusion if the words were categorized in class A, B or C. A standing for masculine, B for feminine and C for neuter.

Or we could simply say Masculine, feminine, and neuter and cut out the middle man....

[karenesquer]

how do you know if a noun is feminine or masculine?

[mareticfilip]

It comes as a package. You must learn the word newspaper as "Die Zeitung", not just "Zeitung".
