    Lakes and seas - false friends ahoy!


    The German for "the lake" is der See The plural forms are identical (only the
    (masculine) and the most commonly plural of der See is commonly used).
    used word for "the sea" is das Meer
    (neuter). (masc.: (fem.:
    plural
    "lakes") "seas")
    There's another slightly less commonly
    used word for "the sea": die See nominative die die
    (feminine). Seen Seen

    Be careful not to confuse der See (the accusative die die


    lake) and die See (the sea). Remember Seen Seen
    that when you learn a noun, you should
    always learn the gender with it. There are not many noun pairs like this
    in German. Here is the most extreme
    (masc.: (fem.: example, with plural forms:
    singular
    "lake") "sea")
    das Band (die Bänder) - the tape
    nominative der See die (band)
    See der Band (die Bände) - the
    volume/tome
    accusative den See die die Band (pronounced as in English)
    See (die Bands) - the music band
