because it's obvious
the moon is OBVIOUSLY a woman
the chair is OBVIOUSLY a woman
the sun is OBVIOUSLY a man
my headphones are OBVIOUSLY male
end of the question
Nicholas Barnes
Tell that to the Germans
Colton Thompson
Literally every one of those was wrong.
Leo Collins
Absolutely correct
Camden Edwards
remember the word with the gendered article
eg "la famille," "le prof," etc
Connor Bell
this
Andrew Martin
if it ends with "a" then it's female.
Wyatt Walker
..no?
la luna
la silla
el sol
los audiphonos
Jason Perry
>remember the word with the gendered article
This. I understand that it's hard for people with no gender. Just learn the article with the word, it's the best way.
Caleb Robinson
He meant it's the opposite in German, I guess
Jeremiah Turner

Fucking tumblr pansexual dear-kin trans SJW bastards.
Samuel Murphy

Adam Perry

Liam Torres
Man, that's so gay.
Jack Bennett
french is gay
Chase Baker
israel is so imperialistic
Anthony Taylor
>french is gay
Why? Do you say it because it's "à la mode" or you actually really think it?
Jackson Moore
after the 8th year of french class i just gave up and figured that if the word ends with an "e", it's feminine
Luis Reed
True in 90 % of the cases
Samuel Clark
yeah, they also have us learn "à" alongside verbs that use it (eg. "continuer à" vs "manger")
also your "r" is fucking suicide
Hunter Morales
i don't think it actually
but you said that was gay so I had to 1 up you, catch my drift mate?
Colton Young
the french r is my favorite part of the language. it's so intimate.
Dylan Wilson
I don't know why we even bothered to learn the genders. I can say like 3 sentences in german.
Joseph Wood
>phlegm
>intimate
Gabriel Brown
Oh, I see lad.
Jack Powell
there's no phlegm, it's just a phonological element that tons of languages on earth have
every word you say in french sounds like a beautiful secret
Brody Long
is actually right on that one.
Btw don't forget computer are male.
Ryan Williams
Headphones is male in German. Can't you even speak your own language?
Easton Cruz
In the Dutch language there is no logic behind it. You just have to learn it as part of the words you are learning.
Zachary Lewis
>implying he's german
wew Fritz
Matthew Rodriguez
>"a" vs "à"
Yeah, I have to admit, it's tricky.
Our "r" is just like in English, but just more pronounced. Well I guess it's as difficult as "th" to pronounce for me!
Noah Lee
hon hon =/= hush hush
Blake Martin
one "th" has the same relationship to the other that "v" does to "f" and "z" does to "s," if that helps
Dominic Reyes
But I dont think Dutch people can tell the gender of words either.
Oliver Collins
>don't forget computer are male
What are you talking about? He don't even write computer in his comment?
Jonathan Roberts
Strong male headphones clasping my ears...
Easton James
>ends with a = female
>ends with o = male
it's not that hard... at least for spanish
Landon Murphy
An American guy (on Sup Forums) told me that there are two different pronunciation for the English "th".
Is it true?
Ayden Green

Lucas Rodriguez
Justin Watson
>moon
female
>chair
male
>sun
neuter
>headphones
plurals shouldn't have a gender desu
Owen James
Yep. /ð/ as in the, though, there, and /θ/ as in thought, through, three.
Eli Davis
Thank you very much, mate. I can hear it, clearly when you pronounce it. It help.
>An additional question : Are these two songs used equally in English, or one of them is common when the other is rare?
Anthony Rivera
Yes, know I understand.
Nicholas Bell
if you see "th", probably about 90% of the time youll pronounce as in /θ/, but theres no pattern to it, so you have to memorise it. incidentally, all times i used th here it makes a ð sound
Anthony Williams
You just have to learn two things, the gender and the noun. English for instance is harder because you have to learn a word plus its pronunciation.
>the moon is OBVIOUSLY a woman
Der Mond
>the chair is OBVIOUSLY a woman
Der Stuhl
>the sun is OBVIOUSLY a man
Die Sonne
>my headphones are OBVIOUSLY male
Die Kopfhörer (Plural) but der Hörer (Singular)
>end of the question
No
William Sullivan
So, "man" is female nao?
Grayson James
>/θ/
/θ/
ok, I see.
>you have to memorise it
ok.
>incidentally, all times i used th here it makes a ð sound
Why ? Do you have an accent? Where are you from?
Jackson Robinson
Man ends with A in Polish?
Nathan Myers
Mana? Tha's magic.
Gavin Foster
no, he means that every use of "th" in that post made a ð
Christian Johnson
Yes, and not only in Polish.
Hudson Clark
Sun can be masculine as well, but practically no one uses the word like that.
Jose Cox
no, i mean all the words containing "th" in my last comment were pronounced as /ð/, though I am an american. though afaik in britbong english they pronounce it as /θ/ far more often, even in words like "the" in some parts.
Aaron Allen
Ok I get it. Well, I try but it's still 'so) hard to pronounce.
I'll train more.
Julian Reed
>words' gender
So primitive shit m8
Evan Turner
moon - male
chair - female
sun - neutral
headphones - female
It makes no sense. Every language has its own rules

laughing at your pathetic lifes hahaha
Cooper Murphy
It's the reason English lost the male and female genders. The Anglos despite having similar words to the Norse invaders had different genders.
Cooper Morales
Old english wasnt similiar to old norse
