Guest Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) I'm embroiled in a lively debate on my Bolton Football forum as to wheher it's Der Bundesliga Das Bundesliga or Die Bundesliga.... I'm holding out for Das Bundesliga - but I'm sure there can't be anything more fun to do on a hot sticky night at 23:26!

Martin B Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I think it's Die. Not 100% though. I go to Portugal, Thursday morning so I'm sure it will be even hotter over there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 OH NO! IT'S 35 degrees in Faro(Portugal) on Friday. We are staying a few miles from Faro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Martin, Sounds like you're staying near where our MD has a couple of apartments http://www.vilasol-algarve.com It'll be very hot - take care and keep out of the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I think it's Die. Not 100% though. Martin - your German is obviously way better than mine!! (mine was always rubbish - I got the O level - and promptly forgot all of it... ) anyway - you are half-right, I am totally wrong!! according to a german-teacher friend of mine: The word "Liga" is feminine and compound nouns (those made up of 2 or more nouns) take their gender from the final noun! If "Bundesliga" is the SUBJECT (NOMINATIVE CASE) or the DIRECT OBJECT (ACCUSATIVE CASE) in the sentence (e.g The Bundesliga is great/ I like the Bundesliga)or follows a PREPOSITION which takes the ACCUSATIVE CASE*, then it will be "die Bundesliga" but if it is the INDIRECT OBJECT (e.g We like to give the Bundesliga our support) or comes after a PREPOSITION which takes the DATIVE CASE* (mit=with, von=from/by etc it will have "der Bundesliga." *There are some which can take either depending what is implied, but I won't go into that! It would NEVER be "das"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so there you have it! now you can say you were doing homework last night - German grammar!!

ubereglu Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Martin, why go to Portugal for 35 degree heat. It's like that in London today-I think, if not there it is here! In our Dining Room it's 30 degrees in the shade! FAR TOO HOT! I should know, I went camping with school yesterday and today! We had to do Orienteering too! (We only found 1 of the points, copied two and wandered around the woods, going on a circular path in different directions-We ended up at base 3-4 times!!!!) There were 20 points to find!
