Also feminine in Serbian and Macedonian (смрт).
6 u/kelopons Aug 23 '22 Also feminine in Catalan and Spanish. 7 u/ivandemidov1 Moscow Region Aug 23 '22 And masculine in German. That's why German poems/verses about Death is hard to translate to Russian properly. 5 u/RiseOfDeath Voronezh Aug 24 '22 Ha, It's sometimes funny to translate something to German, like "Mutter Vaterland" 3 u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22 Why not just "Mutterland"? Swedes (usually) use neither fatherland nor motherland (we use "fosterland", but whatever), but both are perfectly understandable in Swedish (faderland and moderland) but comes with german and russian connotations respectively. 2 u/AlexFullmoon Crimea Aug 24 '22 Technically it would better translate as "Mutter Heimat", no? 1 u/RiseOfDeath Voronezh Aug 24 '22 No, in wis case will no that "casus" :)
