Wait until you see that "see" is lake, and "meer" is sea. It gets me every time as a Dutchman. In Dutch "zee" is sea and "meer" is lake.

Not always true. Baltic sea is "Ostsee" (East Sea) and North Sea is "Nordsee". Deap sea is "Hohe See" etc. Mediterranean is "Mittelmeer" though..

The difference being der See means the lake and die See means the sea

Obviously though

Yeah, but this distinction wasn't given in the original comment.
