Wild faction name

[Fellow Hoodlum]

Me, I was quite happy with 'The Wild', summed up their attitude and behaviour. Making it more Germanic was
a good move as their history was closely linked with Rheinland.
Minor translation error aside, a re-name to 'Die Wilde' seems more than relevant. Stick with it, the info card
gives us all the lowdown on them we need. Trying to make them sound more like nomads is confusing.

Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."

I agree. While a name like the Possessed does sound pretty trippy, Something like, 'The Wild' fits the thing better. I am happy with the German Version too.

According to Google, Das Wilde is the correct term.

Wolf, don't rely on block text translators. They take the words out of context, than translate. I've gone through some German class and the correct usage would be Die Wilde.

Die/Der/Das are all used for The. Its the way its used that determines which one would be used in the sentence.

Der and Das mean That.
Die means Those.

The Wild aren't things, they are people.

You wouldn't say The Wild are that people. You would say The Wild are those people.

Die Wilde would be the correct word to use in this type of sentence, and subject matter.


*Points* Of course, Kane knows more than I do about the language.

Der and Das mean That.
Die means Those.

Not entirely true..

Der is masculine
Die is feminine
Das is neutral

Which one to use all depends on the word it preceeds. In this case, I'd say Die is correct though.

Der, die and das are the same as "the" in English – the DEFINITE ARTICLE.

Gender is sometimes natural—der Mann/ein Mann (man, masc.), die Frau/eine Frau (woman, fem.), but more often it is not: das M?dchen (girl, neuter).

But it is the WORD, not the thing that has gender, and it makes little sense to worry about the whys of gender. Just concentrate on learning the genders.

:P

Besides the grammar and all, I think "Die Wilde" sounds just fine. Although I'm not entirely up to date on this new faction, the name sounds just fine.

In this case, the word's gender wouldn't matter. If you were talking about a male person, Der would be correct, Die would be incorrect, and Das could be used depending on the sentence. When talking about a group, item, thing, the gender would not matter.

Spanish also uses feminine and masculine things. The word for skirt is masculine.. When talking about a group or object, the gender wouldn't matter, unless the group was all male or all female (such as GC would be Die [word for Golden] Chrysenthemums.)

Gender of a word does not determine everything it can and cannot be used for. *Took 6 weeks of Spanish and French..*

Um... Strange no one thought of this, but... Couldn't they be "The Infected"?

Or just nomads...umm why not? Nomads, they are nomad infested so why not?????? Or maybe the 'infested' as nomads are not diseases

Because... Its a lot easier for someone to accept the eradication of a plague, a disease, than it is for the eradication of a species.
