gender in german is absolute ass. i know other languages are worse but still >>:c
objects are gendered between masculine, feminine, and neutral, without any apparent pattern.
humans (and basically all nouns for them) are ofc also gendered but only as masculine and feminine (except some few exceptions like baby and girl) because ofc the neutral form is only for objects and animals and would be obectifying on humans… so oficially german has no gender neutral 3rd person pronouns (neither singular nor plural) and when it does need them, it just defaults to the masculine pronouns, because men are ofc the default.now there are language reforms happening, trying to create new gender neutra noun suffixes, by merging the existing suffixes but ofc even this small addition has ben turned into a manufactured outrage for conservatives, reactionaries, and really anyone who doesnt belive there is a patriarchy.
no one outside of queer or radical leftist communities is even aware of the existance or capable of the usage of gender neutral neo pronouns (the only kind there is, other than the reclaimed neutral form).
this shit makes me so pissed whenever i think about it.
‘Es’ is third person singular and I’m happy to be called that even if others aren’t. Some people I know are switching over diminutive forms of gendered words referring to humans in casual conversation but I suppose those people are also qeer/allies.
grammatical gender doesn’t actually have anything to do with social gender, it’s just a very dumb piece of terminology.
There’s no pattern to it because it’s just a thing that happened, “mädchen” is neuter because very few people think of nouns as having societal gender connections, they just use whatever grammar they grew up with and sounds right.you talk about manufactured outrage but dude, you’re doing the same thing!
“Mädchen” is neutrum because it is diminutive of “Magd” and the diminutive is neutrum.
c/196 in toki pona would be c/mute

Originally, mute in toki pona is many or any number above two, so 196 would be mute. In the modern numeral system mute is 20.
