  • Sure, this is true. Look at “MG” - was a British brand then an now it’s Chinese.

    But the Chinese could proudly use there own brands: BYD, Xpeng, Xiaomi. Why do they imitate ours?

    Customers should simply be aware that Opel isn’t a German brand anymore. This has nothing to do with German engineering. Unfortunately. - German brands are sold widely for cheap crap. Other examples: Dual, Grundig, Bose etc.

    We should only name something “Made in EU” when it’s really produced in EU and never sell out our identity to China.

    But that is, what happens.

















  • The wrong use of “der/die/das” in German does not really bother. Everyone will understand the sentence if it’s done wrong. Since there is no rule to be derived as to how to use the article correctly, you simply have to learn it with the word itself like in other languages, too. (Why is a car a “female” in French? “La voiture” - I won’t ever understand, also in Swedish: “en” or “ett” words eg. “vatten” .) There are some rules in German, like ending on “-er” is often a “male” word, but not consistent… It’s only a clue. But sometimes it doesn’t matter at all: “der Joghurt”, “die Joghurt”, “das Joghurt” - all genders are correct, so just try. 😂
