Die, der and das is a minefield but der can be feminine if it's used as a 'genitive' ie you are showing who something belongs to - eg Berlin, the capital, belongs to the DDR or these hundred marks belong to the DDR; issued by the state bank belonging to the DDR. In English we would say 'of the' as our equivalent to 'der' so Berlin is the capital of the DDR or in my example 'Sassnitz, der DDR, 1977' Sassnitz is (part) of the DDR. Although I'm prepared to stand corrected... Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm prepared to stand corrected... I see what you're saying - and yes, der is the genitive form of die in the nominative. I didn't read it as that. I read it as being in the nominative case rather than genitive. I don't see why it couldn't be as you said though, so apologies martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesapandre Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That ad is interesting because a decent 2CV is now worth as much as Silver Sprit. The much unloved 4-seat Ferrari Mondial is probably long since scrapped and the Porsche only other car with some cred. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the 'tina looks more modern. But both cars were designed by the same man, Roy Haynes. He did the Cortina, then moved to BL, first doing the front and rear of the Maxi, then the Mini Clubfront, which looks like a 'tina clone, then he did the Marina.
