And uses some of those words for "the" to be different versions of different genders in different cases.

Der nominative male, der Dativ female.

But call also be "that" or "which" or "who" depending on context.

Not to mention declension of adjectives.

Different declination for all three genders plus plural, plus differences for negation, no article, definite article, indefinite article all in in nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, version

If Excel spreadsheets for different versions of "the" turn you on, then German is your language.
