- German distinguishes between Rituale and Bräuche, where the latter refers specifically to folk customs and traditions passed down through generations.
- The word Ritual is a 'neuter' noun, meaning it uses the article das, which can be counterintuitive if you are used to other German nouns ending in '-e' being feminine.
