Try German. Why is bread non-binary bro, why is the moon masculine and the sun feminine!?
Nothing is worse than Das Mädchen
Girls are agender says the nazis
That's because it ends on "-chen". It's a suffix to basically cutiefy whatever comes in front of it and makes every word agender. So like "Der Hund" (the dog) becomes "Das Hündchen" (the doggy). "Mädchen" originally comes from the word "Die Maid", which means young woman but is never used in modern German. So "Mädchen" is basically "girlie", not "girl". Don't ask me why this happened
I know the "explanation", and it's still extremely stupid and not a valid excuse
I personally hate Die/Der See
bread, i dunno, but the moon is presumably masculine because the man in the moon, Tilion is a man. and the sun feminine because Arien is a woman and she's the pilot of the sun.
Ok that's pretty cool to learn. Still hard to remember all noun genders ñ, though.
heh, it's from tolkien.
It is important to understand that these are not actually "gendered" that's just the term linguists used for noun classes that some obviously gendered things were a part of.
