Nominative, accusative, dative. Whyyyy. "See, der is the masculine most of the time. But when you're talking about the indirect object, it's feminine instead!"

It'd probably be okay without gender, so you're half right.

[Helgoland]

Well that's just two different words that happen to be spelled the same way.
(Nouns with that property actually have a fun name in German: 'Teekesselchen', 'little tea pots'. Guessing those is a fairly popular car game.)

I've been taught that whenever someone complains about the 4 cases of German, I point them to the 15 of Finnish (or 16 if you count two homonymous ones separately.)

Spelled the same way, and pronounced the same way! Why, in English there isn't one word set, there are just four hundred and sixty-four words spelled s-e-t!

I recognised where Aedel's avatar's from, and then realised that I don't have the source saved. Figured I probably should, but do you know how hard it is to think of (effective) keywords without it looking like they're for child pornography? Very.

So in the end I just settled for reverse image search, by the way.

Yeah, there's only three or four spelled set, iirc.

Fake-Edit: Shit, sorry, I actually checked. Turns out there's nineteen (or twenty one, if accept a second t) different definitions for set, and it can be used as a noun, verb, or adjective.

Actual-Edit: Incidentally, stuff like that is one of the reasons english can give non-native speakers fits :V

[Graknorke]

At least in English the related noun, verb, and adjective have the same relationship between them for a lot of words. Verbing and adjectiving nouns is a common enough thing.

Lunch is apparently a lie. I don't understand.
