Assuming gender, it should be "der Bart", "die" is female.

We native speakers of German tend to just shake our heads at that entire scene when we watch the German dub, no part of it works well. 🫤

Thats not exactly how it works. For instance, "little girl" gets the neutral article: "das mädchen"

[–] zout@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's because "Mädchen" is a dimunitive, and those are indeed neutral.

This is why I stopped taking German classes. Genreing nouns just never clicked with me. I can kinda hear it in French words more intuitively though.
