This is my biggest struggle with German. 3 genders and then plurals, cases etc that can change it again.

La Casa vs El hospital. What determines the gender of each? Spelling is great, but this piece boggles the mind.

I’m sure there’s etymological reasons, but in practice ‘la hospital’ being less pleasant to say (with two vowel sounds directly next to each other) probably contributed. Like how it’s el agua, even though any adjectives for it are feminine: el agua contaminada.

Reminds me of the time when I forgot if the Latin word for bedroom is -a or -um... (it was cubiculum btw, apparently all rooms are gender neutral)

Fake. If that was me, those baguettes would be gone within 0.3 nanoseconds.
