Rule for masculine · der

Vehicles and transport

Vehicles like ICE are der (a very rare rule).

The rule, in plain language

Certain means of transport, like der ICE (Germany's high-speed train), take the masculine gender. This is an extremely rare rule in our course - just one word out of 2,400 falls into this category, so treat it as a useful note about this specific word rather than a general pattern. There are no known exceptions in our data, but with only one example that isn't saying much - the simplest thing is to just remember der ICE directly.

In the A1-B1 vocabulary of the Genau course, this rule covers 1 words (0%) and has no exceptions.
