- job descriptions or other terms describing people are usually masculine (some of them can be made feminine by adding an -in, others have special feminine names, like Stewardess, Friseuse, Politesse, Krankenschwester, but some of them are nowadays considered politically incorrect)
der Geselle
der Gefreite
der Gemahl
der Gebieter
der Getreue
der Geweihte
der Gesellschafter
- substantivated verbs, formed from the PPP, which often starts with ge-, usually are neutrum. You can be sure, if it is really the PPP, i.e. the noun is formed like this: Ge- + verb root + -te / -ne:
das Gesagte (from sagen)
das Gemalte (from malen)
das Geschriebene (from schreiben)
das Geraubte (from rauben)
(but those nouns I wouldn't consider proper nouns... they are like "the shouting", "the playing", "the walking", "the swimming"... you can treat them as nouns, but they are not common, except in certain constructions)
- other substantivated verbs just consist of ge- and the verb root, they usually are neutrum, too, but I don't know whether you can be absolutely sure about it...:
das Geschrei (from schreien)
das Geläut (from läuten)
das Gebrüll (from brüllen)
das Gewimmel (from wimmeln)
das Gestammel (from stammeln)
das Getäfel (from täfeln)
das Getröpfel (from tröpfeln)
das Gemecker (from meckern)
das Geklimper (from klimpern)
das Geflüster (from flüstern)
das Geschnatter (from schnattern)
das Geplauder (from plaudern)
das Gejohle (from johlen)
das Gemetzel (from metzeln)
BTW, most of these verbs could be made into substantives from the PPP, too (but that would be less desirable and less common, and the meaning is different):
das Geschriene, das Geläutete, das Gebrüllte, das Gewimmelte, das Gestammelte, das Getäfelte, das Getröpfelte, das Gemeckerte, das Geklimperte, das Geflüsterte, das Geschnatterte, das Geplauderte, das Gejohlte, das Gemetzelte
For example, while "das Gebrüll" is the roar, "das Gebrüllte" means the words that were being yelled. The same with "das Geflüster" (the whisper) and "das Geflüsterte" (the whispered words). "Das Gemetzel" (the carnage) - "der/die/das Gemetzelte" (the butchered person/animal).

In your list you have some plurals:
die Gewichte (from das Gewicht)
die Gesellschafter (from der Gesellschafter)
das Geweih - die Geweihe
die Geweihten (from der Geweihte)
das Gewicht - die Gewichte
About das Gegentor / clean sheet:
I think "clean sheet" is if you win without a Gegentor (without the other team scoring a goal against your team)
About das Geläut / ringing:
"ringing" would normally be "das Läuten". Other terms in english might be "chimes" or "peal". You CAN say "das Geläut", but it's not common.
"das Geläut" is a rather old-fashioned expression, that could sometimes also be translated with "the rumour", "the gossip". I only know it from a poem/song which I don't remember from the top of my head now... something with "das Geläut der Leute"... |
