  1. The Complication of Grammatical Genders in German language Imagine your cutlery filling out a form enquiring whether it’s a male, a female or neuter by gender. Your spoon would tick the column next to “male.” Meanwhile, the butter knife you use to spread jam on your bread would check “neuter.” But the fork itself would mention itself as female. Surprisingly, this would be the case with German. For the most part, there’s no real explanation as to why a certain noun receives a certain gender. In other words, there’s no concept or reason stated as to why “spoon,” is masculine or feminine in German, even though it could be the exact opposite or even neuter in another language. It’s simply an unspoken grammatical rule. In any other official language, gender is important to the German language, especially regarding grammatical structures. There are a number of concepts that are dependent on the gender of German nouns, such as adjective endings, articles, pronouns and plural forms, and many more. The main essence lies in classifying nouns into segments, rather than assigning them a physical gender.
