Questions & Answers about Die Rücksendung kommt morgen.

Why is it die Rücksendung and not der or das?

Because Rücksendung is a feminine noun in German, so its nominative singular article is die.

In this sentence, die Rücksendung is the subject, so it appears in the nominative case:

• die Rücksendung = the return shipment / the return

If you changed the case, the article could change:

• nominative: die Rücksendung
• accusative: die Rücksendung
• dative: der Rücksendung
• genitive: der Rücksendung

So here, die is used because the noun is feminine and it is the subject of the sentence.

What exactly does Rücksendung mean?

Rücksendung usually means something like:

• return shipment
• returned item
• return delivery
• sometimes simply return

It is built from:

• rück- = back / return
• Sendung = shipment, dispatch, consignment

So the basic idea is something being sent back.

Depending on context, it could refer to:

• the process of sending something back
• the parcel/item that is being returned

In a shopping or delivery context, die Rücksendung kommt morgen most naturally means that the returned shipment will arrive tomorrow.
