Articles and Adjectives

As you might know, there are 3 genders in Bavarian. Feminine, masculine and neutrum. Every noun has a gender and it is not always logical which. Window is for exemple neutral (as Fenster), but table is masculine (da Disch) and door is feminine (de Dia). There is only one way for this: learn it by heart!
But nobody will be offended if you use the wrong gender. Bavarian people are quite aware of that it isn't always easy for foreigners. By the way, because the German language is quite close to the Bavarian, most of the nouns have the same gender. But not all!

The articles for the genders are as follows:
feminine:   de       masculine:   da       neutrum:   as

Not only for the articles you have to know the gender, also for the adjectives. Depending on the gender, you bow the adjectives differently. If you use the definite form of the noun, this will say with the article de/da/as, then the ending is always -e:

Feminine:	+ (n/s)e :	De groaße / kloane / scheene Dia
Masculine:	+ (n/s)e:	Da groaße / kloane / scheene Disch
Neutrum:	+ (n/s)e:	As groaße / kloane / scheene Fenster

If you use the indefinite form of a noun, only with f.exp. "a", then it differs:

Feminine:	+ (n/s)e :	A groaße / kloane / scheene Dia
Masculine:	+ (n/s)a:	A groaßa / kloana / scheena Disch
Neutrum:	+ (n/)s:	A groaß / kloans / scheens Fenster

The gender of all the nouns, we have learned so far:
Feminine:     de Übung, de Vokabel, de Brezn, de Förderation, de Erdn, de Dia, de Katz
Masculine:   da Captain, da Baam, da Freind, da Computer, da Disch
Neutrum:     as Kapitel, as Raumschiff, as Bier, as Biache, as Land, as Fenster, as Buitl, as Cafè

When the article is stressed, you might also here "der" instead of "da".

You might also have noticed the word order. If it is a normal sentence it is:
S - V - O:         I - bin - de Mare.         Des - is - a Disch.
But in questions, the verb comes first:
V - S - O:         Bin - i - de Mare?         Is - des - a Disch?
