@wordsatwork: Why do some languages have grammatical gender? As confusing as it might seem, it’s not pointless! Let’s learn more about linguistics and how these distinctions come to be! (And check out the aforementioned video by @Arum Natzorkhang (COMMS OPEN) !) #language #español #education #DidYouKnow #linguistics
So what happens when new nouns are added to a language with grammatical gender. Like modern technology nouns

the most difficult part is when in your first language word has a different gender than in the language you are learning

i love gender in dutch, there's just "has gender" and "doesn't have gender" and no further elaboration

out of frustration from a native Finnish speaker: why does there need to be gendered pronouns

It is English that don't have it, not the other way around.

In Arabic because it’s obvious that it’s random. Power? Feminine. Patient? Masculine. Water? Masculine.. or Feminine.. depends. Person? Masculine. Character? Feminine.

English has an extremely simplistic grammar, which is why other languages may seem complicated at first to native English speakers.

nicke :
In Swedish, the "gender" system is not called masculine/feminine, we just have "EN-nouns" and "ETT-nouns", with no logical division, as far as I know. Example: En tiger=a tiger; Ett lejon=a lion.

and in french we even have a few nous that change gender when they become plural. just to make it a bit more original

Amelia ^-^ 🏳️⚧️ :
in polish when we use singular words we have masculine, feminine, and neutral, but when we use plurals we have masculine and nonmasculine so thats kinda funny

When i was little me and my friend decided as a femanist protest to refer to everything as femanine even if thats gramatically incorrect and so many people got confused 😭 “la perra, La gato, la bosque” even we got confused a lot

Sanna🇪🇺 :
Colloquial Finnish only has one pronoun for people, animals and things: everything is ’se’ (’it’ in English). Or ’ne’ (them) for plural.

noeliacanela :
“Agua” is feminine yet we use “el” “el agua clara”. That’s because “la” used to be ella and words starting with a con la mayor fuerza de voz ahí en esa a, they would mix with ella

Æmelián :
Old English had gendered articles.
"se" (masculine)
"sēo" (feminine)
"þæt" (neuter)
One of the reasons, why it was simplified were the viking settlers. "þæt" became "The".
