some pirateArgentina: Milei government on crusade against inclusive language
MataVatnikInclusive language is the dumbest fucking thing anyone tried to do to the Spanish language. For those not familiar, Spanish is a gendered language, words ending in -o are male and words ending in -a are female (not a steadfast rule there are tons of exceptions). “Academics” with too much time want to change words to a gender neutral ending -e. And it sounds so fucking stupid.
Skullgridyeah, typical idiotic response to this debate, defending the idea that a chair is a man.
No it’s a woman, La Silla. Lmao. But origins of grammatical gender are related to the function of the word, and not related to sex. I forgot the specifics. Some languages have(or had) three ‘genders’ for their language.
It doesn’t really matter, it’s a stupid and shitty function that is at best vestigial, and at worst, not even consistent.
There’s a lot of things you can about Turkish being a shitty language, but at least vovel harmony is always consistent, and once you get enough language exposure, you can guess the correct mutations of suffixes correctly.
Also, you’re helping me prove my point that despite actualmente aprendiendo español, usandolo casi diariamente, ya es casi impossible para recordar las reglas absurdas de generos de objectos cotidianas fuera de contexto.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
driving_croonerCounterpoint: El asiento. Chairs are actually gender fluid.
Shieeee
