@ramsey if you want to learn more, feel free to ask me.
@SpikeSmolders Is there a rule for when to use “het” vs. “de” as the definite article in front of a noun?
@ramsey not as far as I know. It baffles me to this day. "Het paard" (the horse) compared to "de koe" (the cow) is just a classic example.
@SpikeSmolders I just read that it’s a holdover from when the language had gendered nouns, and there’s no good “rule of thumb” for remembering when to use which. You just have to memorize it. 😂
@ramsey I found something https://thedutchonlineacademy.com/en/grammar/de-or-het
@SpikeSmolders Nice! Thanks!
@ramsey I learned something new about my own language too, lol. I always did it on "what sounds right"
@ramsey Dutch is the closest language to English ;-) Just remember that English has all the vowel sounds wrong (compared to other Germanic/Romance languages).
