    Spanish speaker here. For as chaotic and wild as English is, I’ve always appreciated that it has no gendered nouns. Why are chairs female? Makes no sense

      Maybe you are interested in Finnish. We do not have gendered pronouns either. Everyone is just “hän”.

        As are mustache and balls. Meanwhile, bra, vagina and boobs are male.

      Clearly, because chairs are obviously male (German). Anything else is just silly.

        I’m sorry, French here, but a chair can be both. It depends of the type : Une chaise is obviously feminine while un siège or un fauteuil are definitely masculin. Also Germanic language like English and German mixing these two meaning are silly languages.

          Why. Just why? It’s just you French and your obsession for…

          la silla vs el asiento (Spanish)

          Fuck.

        Somone has to come up with the word chairdude. And some corporate bean counter will invent the word chairhuman to show how diverse they are.
