what do you mean by sausage (platonic)?
like the platonic ideal of a sausage? or one that you are very good friends with?
RE: Deutschgender thread - Qaxoasax - 11-03-2023
Wait, "swine flesh"?

Yeah lol I just meant like. sausage in its simplest, most generic form, as opposed to more specific cultivars of sausage.
Also fliesch just means "meat" so the German word for pork transliterated is simply "meat of the pig".
Annnnd today's Genders, brought to you by my duolingo revision:
Masculine:
Parks, markets, supermarkets, train stations, ATMs
Feminine:
Pharmacies, libraries, churches, bakeries, subway stations, universities, toilets
Neuter:
Restaurants, cinemas, hotels, museums, coffee shops
RE: Deutschgender thread - MUNCHMOLAR - 11-04-2023
Very fascinating to see train stations as masculine and subway stations as feminine... I guess I never really thought about it, but there's something yonic about going into a hole in the ground for your transportation which may override the phallic nature of trains and subway cars themselves.
RE: Deutschgender thread - Schazer - 11-05-2023
i am quickly learning that nouns having genders in German is arbitrary and makes very little sense and the only way to memorise them is to write and laugh about them on a forum
anywho. toss me a theme and I will collate another delicious bath of deutschgenders for you
RE: Deutschgender thread - MUNCHMOLAR - 11-05-2023
Just imagine the masculine subjects with a beard or mustache and the feminine subjects with lipstick. They do that in the novel Bloomability.
Anyway, I posit the theme "art supplies".
RE: Deutschgender thread - June Stargal - 11-05-2023
