  Those are grammatical genders, which are a different thing.

    They really should be called genres or noun cases as outside of Europe they really aren’t tied to gender and can have way more different cases than just two or three.

  We’ve actually got 3 genders, but outside Flanders, people don’t seem to know the distinction anymore. The darn Dutch ruined Dutch!

    I had no idea this was another thing Flanders did differently than the Netherlands (and pretty much every other “Netherlandophone” area)

      It’s really handy when you’re learning German as their gender tends to be the same (het/een huis -> das Haus; de/nen hond -> der Hund; de/een kat(te) -> die Katze).

  Genders in the Russian language: “actually, we are families”

    In Russia; you don’t gender yourself, Russian genders you.

    “We don’t need articles, but we have a fuck ton of grammatical genders”

    Says the same country that also fears non-binary gender identities, that’s actually kinda ironic

    The gender is there but I said it so fast you can’t tell the difference anyway so let’s just call it a short form

    -russian
