why do the french think that a table is female? :huh:

 

Okay, dictionaries suck nowadays. But I wouldn't be surprised if a table was also female in English, but you just can't see it from the article.

 

:shrug: the table (cant see how thats female)

That's the problem with English. You can never see it. In French, everything is male or female, and the article is according to that. In Dutch, you can see male/female or neither, in German, you can see everything, in Latin, you can see it from the last letters, etc.

well honestly that would be because english is a mix of all the languages you stated (you can find words from every language changed to suit or fit in the english dictionary)

I don't make the rules, I just learn 'em.

 

but maybe you know why?

 

it's just how the language is, you may as well ask why English DOESN'T have gendered words

 

maybe because it involves food and the kitchen? nah, im kidding... I have no idea how it's feminine either

 

la cuisine, the kitchen, feminine

well that's true for nearly any European language, they're in such close proximity that cross-overs just happen
