Kabbidel 1.1 – Important Concepts – GRAMMATICAL GENDER AND ARTICLES

PREFACE: Some of this will seem repetitive and painfully obvious, particularly since we

are using English as an initial frame of reference. However, please read through the entire

paper. I will point out some significant similarities and differences between English and

Deitsch. Hopefully, by the time you have finished reading this paper, you will have a

stronger understanding of grammatical gender in Deitsch.

Don’t be afraid of these topics! They’ll get easier!

GRAMMATICAL GENDER

In English, the grammatical gender matches the physical or natural gender of a noun

(person, place, thing). “Man” is a masculine noun; “woman” is a feminine noun. A

female animal or pet is referred to with feminine pronouns and a male pet with masculine

pronouns. Occasionally, a person may make reference to a car or a boat as a “she” (“Ain’t

she a beaut?”), but normally, all inanimate objects are considered neuter or neutral and

are referred to as “it.”

Such is not the case with most other Indo-European languages, including Pennsylvania

German. In Deitsch, a noun’s grammatical gender may or may not correspond to its

physical gender.

In Deitsch, there are, as in English, three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, and

neuter.

Do not confuse grammatical gender and physical gender. If it helps you to think of

“grammatical gender” as “noun class” instead, then run with that concept. However,

we’ll use “gender” as it is a common linguistic term.

The best way to master the grammatical gender of Pennsylvania German nouns is to learn

the definite article that is associated with each of them. Along with the definite articles,

we also must understand the indefinite article. First, let’s look at both the definite and the

indefinite types of article in English and then compare/contrast them in Deitsch.

Articles in English

An article is a word that, when combined with a noun, tells us a few things about that

noun. In English, articles usually describe whether one is speaking of a particular item

(definite article) or a more general concept or one particular member of a group

(indefinite article). There are two other types of articles (partitive and zero) that we’ll

discuss at a later time.

The definite article in English is “the.” It usually refers to an object or person that was

introduced previously or in situations where there can only be one of a certain type of

object.

The indefinite articles in English are “a” and “an.” The only difference between them is

that “an” is usually followed by a word that starts with a vowel (or sometimes with an

“h”). Indefinite articles usually introduce a noun for the first time or describe one

member of a group. After that initial introduction, the “a” is replaced by “the’ in

subsequent references to the same object. Here’s a great example:

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow;

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

The first reference was using an indefinite article “a” as it introduced the noun “lamb”.

The second reference uses the definite article “the” because we’re now talking about the

same lamb.

In English, neither articles nor nouns change forms in the nominative and the accusative

cases. “The” is always “the”; “book” is always “book,” regardless of whether it is the

subject, direct object, or indirect object in a sentence. Also, neither articles nor nouns

change forms due to gender: “The” is always “the” regardless of whether the associated

noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter. Thus, other than establishing a definite or

indefinite reference, the articles “a,” “an,” and “the” do not identify anything else about

the noun (its gender, case, or number).

This is where Deitsch and English are very different.

Nominative and Accusative Articles in Deitsch

The articles in Deitsch play the same roles as in English, but the definite article, when in

the nominative and accusative cases, has an added function of being the most visible way

of identifying a noun’s grammatical gender.

NOM./ACC. DEFINITE ARTICLES: DER, DIE, ES, and DIE again

The importance of learning the appropriate definite article along with a noun cannot be

overstated. In English, we only have one definite article (“the”) that looks the same in all

grammatical cases. In Deitsch, we have three singular definite articles and one plural

article form. These articles change in different grammatical cases, but for now we will

focus only on the nominative and the accusative.

der: The definite article that identifies singular nouns that have masculine grammatical

gender.

die (singular; remember that it is pronounced like “dee” in English!): The definite article

that identifies singular nouns that have feminine grammatical gender.

es: The definite article that identifies singular nouns with a neuter (or neutral)

grammatical gender.

die (plural; pronounced the same as the singular, like “dee” in English): The definite

article that identifies a plural noun. All three genders use the same plural forms. To be

able to tell the singular “die” from the plural “die,” you will need to learn the plurals of

nouns.

Examples (Singular)

der Bruder (“the brother”) – takes “der” because “Bruder” is a grammatically masculine

noun and is singular in number.

die Schweschder (“the sister”) – takes “die” because “Schweschder” is a grammatically

feminine noun and is singular in number.

es Buch (“the book”) – takes “es” because “Buch” is a grammatically neuter noun and is

singular in number.

Now in the cases above, the grammatical gender happens to match the physical gender of

the person or object. Remember that this is not always (or even usually!) the case, as

reflected in the examples below:

der Bodde (“the floor”) – takes “der” because “Bodde” is a grammatically masculine

noun regardless of its neutral physical gender, and is singular in number.

die Uhr (“the clock”) – takes “die” because “Uhr” is a grammatically feminine noun

regardless of its neutral physical gender, and is singular in number.

es Kind (“the child”) – takes “es” because “Kind” is a grammatically neuter noun even

though the child would have a physical gender, and is singular in number.

es Meedel (“the girl”) – takes “es” because “Meedel” is a grammatically neuter noun

despite the feminine physical gender, and is singular in number.

Thus, when you learn a new noun, be sure to learn the nominative definite article (der,

die, or es) that goes with it. This will help you to remember what the grammatical gender

of that noun is. The grammatical gender will determine the forms a noun takes within

sentences, and it will also affect other parts of speech that have to agree (match the same

gender and number) with the noun in question.

You may want to put the articles on your flashcards alongside the nouns so you

remember to learn them as a unit.

Examples (Plural)

Now on to the nominative and accusative plurals of the words cited above:

die Brieder – “the brothers” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is

plural in number, regardless of gender.

die Schweschdere – “the sisters” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because

it is plural in number, regardless of gender.

die Bicher – “the books” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is


die Bodde – “the floors” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is


die Uhre – “the clocks” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is


die Kinner – “the children” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is


die Meed – “the girls” – takes “die” in the nominative and accusative because it is plural

in number, regardless of gender.

The fact that these plural forms of the definite articles all look the same leads us to lump

them all together as one plural grammatical gender. Simply to remember that all plural

nouns take “die” for the nominative and accusative definite article.

NOM./ACC. INDEFINITE ARTICLES: EN, EN, and EN

For the indefinite article, we will proceed now with the debatable assumption that there is

no plural of the English “a” or “an,” so we are only looking at singular forms for now.

The indefinite articles still have grammatical gender to match the noun, but the three

genders all share the same form in the nominative and the accusative cases. This makes it

easy on the one hand, because for those two cases, you need only learn one form.

BUT… Make no mistake: Although all three genders use the same form (“en”) in the

nominative and the accusative cases, they have not “lost” their grammatical gender. The

nouns they are associated with are still grammatically masculine, feminine, or neuter. The

articles just happen to have the same form among all three genders when the nouns they

modify are the subject (nominative) or the direct object (accusative) in a sentence.

The grammatical gender of nouns that happen to match the physical gender still matches

the physical gender.

en Bruder – “a brother”; still a grammatically masculine noun.

en Schweschder – “a sister”; still a grammatically feminine noun

en Buch – “a book”; still a grammatically neuter noun

The grammatical gender of those nouns that do not match the physical gender still does

not match the physical gender. Thus, we repeat that a noun’s grammatical gender may or

may not match the noun’s physical gender.

en Bodde – “a floor”; still a grammatically masculine noun

en Uhr – “a clock”; still a grammatically feminine noun

en Kind – “a child”; still a grammatically neuter noun

en Meedel – “a girl”; still a grammatically neuter noun

KEY POINT: Even though the all these nouns, which are in their nominative and

accusative case forms, are using the same indefinite article “en,” they still retain their

grammatical gender. You will see that this is important with adjectives and with the

dative case, where the forms differ among the three genders.

Summary

Do not be afraid of the grammatical gender. It will all start to sink in. Just be sure to learn

the grammatical gender for each noun. Use the singular, nominative definite article (der,

die, or es) as your guide to identifying the grammatical genders.
