Traditionally, nouns in Dutch, like in more conservative Germanic languages, such as German and Icelandic, have retained the three grammatical genders found in the older forms of all Germanic languages: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Almost all Dutch speakers maintain the neuter gender, which has distinct adjective inflection, definite article and some pronouns. The picture is less clear for the masculine and feminine gender, because in the standard language the adjective inflection of both is identical, and both share the same article and the same demonstrative pronouns. There are clearer grammatical differences in the definite articles in the genitive (masculine "des" vs feminine "der"), demonstrative determiners (masculine "diens" vs feminine "dier") and relative pronouns (masculine "wiens" vs feminine "wier"), but usage is mostly limited to formal or literary language. The standard language mostly distinguishes masculine and feminine genders of animate nouns by the use of the personal pronoun, which are "hij"/"hem" for masculine nouns and "zij/haar" for feminine nouns and by corresponding possessive pronouns, "zijn"/"zijne" for masculine nouns and "haar"/"hare" for feminine nouns; all of those have additional unstressed reduced forms. It is also distinguished in the case forms of the definite article and some pronouns, but those have fallen out of use and are only retained in literary or archaic usage and fixed expressions.
