Skye
neuter
The English phrase 'skye' corresponds to the German name Skye, referring to the island.
Meaning: island (name)
Did you know?
- Because German allows for the creation of long compound words, a hotel on the island might be called a Skye-Urlaubshotel, combining the name with 'holiday' and 'hotel'.
- In German, if you wanted to say 'of Skye', you would say von Skye, as the name does not typically take a genitive 's' suffix like 'Skye's' in English.
- If a German author were writing a poem about the island, they might use the term die Skye, treating the name itself as a feminine noun.
