The neat part about this language is that these words started existing properly at the very moment I’ve typed them out.

Now if I get enough people to use it so that they turn up in the Duden, they become entirely official.

It’s simple, you use ‘der’ when using ‘the’ is appropriate. ‘Die’, on the other hand, is equivalent to ‘the’ and takes those places instead. Then comes ‘das’ which means ‘the’ and you can just map that to its English equivalent.

Hope it helps! :)

We äctually have a word for zhis, “Märchenbuchlebenswegbeschreitungszwang”!

I relate. It’s how I’ve found out these are not military speed limits. I was a bit concerned about seeing tanks “only” being allowed 150kph.
