comment What is the difference between “wie” and “was” in a certain context?
As a apart to my previous comment. There are a lot of examples the use of which is different. Example: Wofür ist das? - What is that for? - (Literally (bad) translation: Where is it for - Was ist das für).

But +1 for the second sentence. I think THIS is the most important point. German and English language handles it different. It's something what you've to learn, get the feeling for it. It's not a part of speech for what a rule exists for.

Regarding I am hungry. We do say the literal translation in German: Ich bin hungrig. In English you can say I feel hungry what is not possible in German.

comment Do adjectives have gender?
@EugeneSeidel Not perfectly matching, but the simple way as you learn in school: Wie ist dein Freund - Mein Freund ist deutsch vs Was ist dein Freund - Mein Freund ist (ein) Deutscher, and yes, though, it sounds strange asking Wie for being German. ... schulelaupen.ch/grossklein.htm ... btw. for more discussion, I recommend chat

Das neue Beispiel ist gut; das mit den Schülern klingt übrigens so, als wenn die Deutschen die Deppen sind und für die Anderen die Hausaufgaben erledigen :D .... Wofür ist eigentlich der Downvote, doch nicht etwa wegen den Beispielen?

comment How to say “unmaintained”, speaking about abandonware?
Imho ungewartet doesn't really exists (not yet). (And only a few hits on google.) What about nicht gewartet (e.g. LEO propose that)?

Wie man mit den Auslassungspunkten umgeht, kannst du auf Wikipedia sehen, am Satzende wird KEIN punkt mehr gesetzt
