In German we have three genders for words, neutral, female and male. These are spread around pretty randomly:
Die Tür / The Door is female Das Auto /The Car is neutral Der Bus /The Bus is male
We also have ‘ein’ which is the equivalent of “a” in english. Ein Auto / A Car.
The difference is the same as in german, one is specific, the other more general.
Life is what you make of it. Which is why we are leftists, we’d like more people to be able to have lives that are actually fulfilling to them.
