Barry brains just aren’t evolved enough for advanced language
No wonder everyone agrees English is the superior language. Oui oui la table is feminine 🤌🤌It’s just a table you weirdos
I don’t understand the point of gendered objects. It doesn’t allow you to express details that can’t already be expressed. It doesn’t add to the language. It adds additional complexity without conveying anything.
The only advantage I can think of, is that it makes poetry and singing better because suddenly all the nouns rhyme.
Europe is so woke with their pronouns for furniture and rocks and shite
Yeah, it’s called Civilisation, don’t worry about it Barry.
One time in college I got into a pretty heated argument about the gender of lettuce.
A friend insisted it was masculine while everyone else said it was feminine.
The word ends with an “e”, so he said the gender was optional according to his preference.
Everyone forgot to ask the lettuce how it wanted to be identified.
Anyway, we both failed college.
I find this so annoying. Seriously, brits, you can change the pronoun and have a working sentence. I change the pronoun in my language, and then I need to rework the sentence for the next 30 minutes to make it sense.
Slovenian is a hell of a language.
At one point there was a debate about if the Constitution should be written in German. Then one of the founders stood up and said, “I thought we are trying to create a country based around the ideals of the enlightenment?” And the founding documents were written in English.
gendered languages are fun until you have to learn them
No I agree, gendered languages are dumb. At least the Brits only have The and The
Problem is a female word 😍
I have come to remind you that when we learn Latin again and leave this dirty language of barbarians we will have not only two, but three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter.
We will also have cases, five cases (well, six or seven, but the vocative and locative do not count).
Prepare yourselves, Germans and Slavs.
Waj dont jo alwais späll laik dätt
Its so match isier to anderständ
Shared/common gender and non-gendered words 4tw
Imagine having gendered words in the first place🗿🗿💪🇫🇮🇫🇮
Sometimes it’s true
Dont think Basque is either.
I heard a podcast recently on that topic (Gendering in German/Germanic languages) and is quite interesting although i forgot it for the most part. One thing i remember is that the grammatical gender has nothing at all to do with the biological gender, so gendering from a scientific point of view is not sensible.
Female-wrong or male-wrong?
We’re just ahead of the game mate, English is the no.1 language for Non-binary and Trans folk
I honestly hate our gender language. It creates a very real gender bias when directly applied to people, and every adjective in its feminine form refers to something slutty.
The only advantage of that over English is that we have a bit more diversity when talking about animals. All animals are a “he” when English speakers don’t know their gender. We’ll see a turtle and that’d be a “she”, even if a male and everyone is fine with that. That’s a little bit comforting.
Well. English is really good. Still happy about brexit.
The only good languages 🏴🇸🇪🇳🇴
Languages with grammatical gender are imbecilic. Imagine having to know whether a chair is male or female.
I speak 2 of them but have to agree that they are dumb. Remnants of a neanderthal-like culture.
Just do it like in dutch, have 3 genders but actually make it so 2 of them have basically no differences between them anyway.
As a person who speaks a gendered language, gotta agree with barry on that one
What a title. It’s no use: the euro approaches and Ingerland stops their communications functions.
Old Italian used to have neutral gender (like in Latin), it just disappeared over time
3+ genders is clearly wrong but 2 and fewer is natural.
