Definitive articles for German nouns are one of the most annoying features of the language. Is it "der Joghurt" or "die Joghurt"? Turns out, both. Also "das Joghurt".
With lexicographical data from #Wikidata and shared functions from #Wikifunctions, we can build …

I wrote a blog post on using #Wikifunctions to determine the correct German article (der, die, or das) for a noun. It's an explainer for a tool I recently wrote and walks through calling Wikifunctions and how to fetch lexical data from #Wikidata.

Calling Wikifunctions for der, die, das
One of the least favorite parts for learners of German are the grammatical genders. At times it can feel like a tiny bureaucratic prank designed to test a learner’s patience. Articles seem to obey secret laws: der Tisch, die Tür, das Mädchen. While there are patterns, there are also enough exceptions to make confidence wobble. For learners, the frustration is not just remembering vocabulary, but remembering each noun with its gender attached. There’s no shortcut but learning them by heart.

In der Annotation von Karten/Stadtplänen auf #wikicommons liegt ein wahnsinniges Potential (ad-hoc-'Gelegenheitsannotation' möglich, eindeutige Identifikation der Objekte durch #wikidata-Items, niedrigschwelliger Zugriff, optimale Nachnutzungsmöglichkeiten). Bislang ist das aber noc…
