Why is \u201c<\/strong>Stadt\u201d<\/em><\/strong> feminine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very much like a frog, short & ugly nouns are masculine. Short and ugly are the ones starting and ending in a consonant and being monosyllable, like der Frosch, der Wurm or der Dreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13% are feminine, with many ending in „-t“ preceded by another consonant, like die Brust, die Bucht, die Fahrt, die Flucht, die Fracht, die Kraft, die Kunst, die Luft, die Post, die Stadt or die Welt, but der Bart, das Biest, der Duft, der Geist, das Nest, das Recht, der Sport or das Wort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
