Duplicate of For new words which are often nouns who sets the gender? | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 1:14 | comment | added | DerPolyglott33 | Das klappt nicht so einfach. Wenn ein Wort im Deutschen feminin ist, jedoch sagt das Fremdwort ganz anders. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 0:34 | comment | added | thekeyofgb | I read in "Der Dativ ist dem Genetiv sein Tod" that it's determined by the gender of the closest German word. Like for Nutella, "Produktnamen sind grundsätzlich sächlich," but it's "die Haselnusscreme." So the gender of the word isn't always clear but I assume eventually people will just pick a gender and it'll stick. | |
