In polish i havent really heard of a specific way, while polish has a neutral gender, it doesn’t feel like it makes sense with people, same way you don’t call NB people “it” in english, “ona była miła” (she was kind) feels better than “ono biło miłe” (it was kind)
Word classes become really obvious really quickly, despite being largely impossible to communicate as an understandable rule during teaching. I.e. the more you speak a gendered language, the easier it becomes to get the gender of a word right, even if you were never exposed to said word before.

But yeah, as others said, these don’t have much to do with the gender identity. For example:

The trick is to carefully check underneath the ice dispenser.

So you’re telling me, words have a “vibe”?
You could interpret it that way
