Grammar Guru: Gendered Emotions

In German, nouns have specific genders (masculine, feminine, or neuter). When using adjectives to describe emotions, remember to match the gender of the emotion with the gender of the noun. For example, “happy man” would be glücklicher Mann, while “happy woman” would be glückliche Frau.
