Die Herausforderung, die Challenge oder der Challenge
I know the German word for “challenge” is Herausforderung (die), but once I was told that it’s not applicable for internet challenges we do for fun, as they’re more like a game (not a real challenge), and the English counterpart would be the best option.
However, more than once, the word “Challenge” has been replaced in my texts.
When it’s not replaced, there’s a problem about the gender.
I usually say “die Challenge” because of "die Herausforderung". However, I was told that “Challenge” is mostly used as a masculine word (der Challenge).
Sill, when I tried, I got a correction saying it’s a feminine word.
I love this kind of challenge and intend to keep practising my German with them... so how do I refer to them? Help, please!
