English Language Problems - Lemmy.ca

Wait until you hear about languages where everything is gendered.

We’re currently debating, whether BürgerInnen, Bürger:innen or “Bürgerinnen und Bürger” is the proper way to address all citizens. This is not even about anything LGBTQ, it’s simply acknowledgement of the concept of non-male people (which is really hard for some conservatives).

Portuguese! Even the f…ing objects are gendered!

Most things in Portuguese are gendered, yet we sometimes care fuck all about them (e.g: Sandwich is usually feminine, but it can be masculine depending on who you talk to).

In brazil sandwich is male and we speak portuguese
Wrong, we speak brazilian
Sorry, i forget that we speak brazilian most of the time and spanish on the weekends
Brazilian is just Mexican with an accent
I’m brazilian too and my sandwich is also male! ♂️

We’re mostly gender fluid with our sisters/brothers from oversea

Take frigorífico and geladeira ☺️

It’s all good
