Grammatical gender isn't the same as biological gender. They just call it gender because it's a convenient comparison.

Who decides whether a bed is feminine or masculine? Vowel a at the end of "cama" So you would use article "La" before it. --- Mas dicen, que en las dimensiones de nuestro ser... hay muchos detalles por conocer... ... Copied to Clipboard!

it's called feminine and masculine, but linguistically, you can think of them as "category A" and "category B". It's arbitrary.

RoboLaserGandhi posted...Grammatical gender isn't the same as biological gender. They just call it gender because it's a convenient comparison. They call it masculine and feminine because those happen to be the genders that line up with biologically male and female words. So in German, you have der Mann (the man) and die Frau (the woman). Because of this, they end up calling any word using der "masculine" and any word using die "feminine". "Der Stuhl" (the chair) doesn't necessarily have any actual masculine qualities about it, but it uses the same articles as "Mann" so it's therefore given the grammatical category of masculine. Grammatical gender sometimes doesn't even necessarily line up with biologically gendered words either. For instance "das Mdchen" (the girl). "Das" is neuter. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hexenherz posted...JuanCarlos1 posted...Blue_Inigo posted... Eh there are still some general rules you can apply to get the gender right frequently. And for speaking purposes literally everyone I've talked to in Germany has been really nice and understands when I speak, even when I'm sure I'm misgendering things left and right. For writing it doesn't help as much but I don't write much in German. foreverzero212 posted... mech dragon posted...it's called feminine and masculine, but linguistically, you can think of them as "category A" and "category B". It's arbitrary. Helps clarify which nouns you're talking about in sentences since those languages also don't necessarily have the same sentence structure that we have in English. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div ...

There is no real logic behind it in either language, which always annoyed me. It's just additional memorization until the language becomes intuitive, and it doesn't add any usefulness to the languages.
