FAQ

Nature, Animals & Weather in German: common questions

How do I talk about the weather in German?

Most weather phrases start with es: es regnet (it's raining), es schneit (it's snowing), es ist warm. To ask, say Wie ist das Wetter? or Wie wird das Wetter morgen?

Why is it die Katze but der Hund?

Every animal has a fixed grammatical gender that has nothing to do with the animal itself: der Hund, die Katze, das Pferd. For a female dog you can say die Hündin, and a male cat is der Kater.

What is the difference between der See and die See?

Der See is a lake, like der Bodensee. Die See is the sea, as in die Nordsee and die Ostsee, although everyday German usually says das Meer.
