The bottom part is supposed to say “both do.” I used google translate so it may not be accurate.

    Spanish and German can’t say shit, imagine having to remember the gender of chairs.

    Chinese would be great if it was invented 100 years ago instead of having gone through 3000 years of telephone until half the words are references to things long forgotten.

      These are justified criticisms you have every right to make, but please remember to wear a facemask while pronouncing the “TH” sound in public

      Genders in German suck, but in Spanish it’s pretty easy as most feminine nouns end in “a”, and masculine in “o”. (with a few exceptions of course)

        but remembering which ones are “o” and which ones are “a” is very difficult unless you practice many times a day and even easier to forget if you don’t.
