  Sure, it’s Polish.

  Example, verbs:

  “I was” in Polish - byłem (male) byłam (female) byłom (neither, not really in use, but technically correct).

  Example, nouns:

  “A cat” - kot (male), kotka (female). “Kitty” - kotek (male), koteczka (female).

  Then depending on cuteness informal obligatory rule gradient is:

  koteczek (male) koteczka (female), kitek (too cute for gender), kituś (much too cute for gender), kituniek (cuteness, love and sugar overload, gender does not exists in the universe, you are one with god).

    Ok so, on the one hand I hate that. On the other hand it might prevent people from using words like ‘owo’ and ‘sqweee’ which seems like a win for any language.
