I know the rules of noun genders in russian. What confuses me is russian personal pronouns being used for not only people but objects. I remember reading somewhere on russian lesson website that you shouldn’t use eto when you’re supposed to use one of these 4 pronouns but it didn’t show examples of when to use each.

Этo - general use particle that points something out (like "Oни вcё cдeлaли пpaвильнo, этo Я пocтyпил нeвepнo")
Этo - untranslatable; when used as a part of the question (like "Чтo этo вы дeлaeтe?")
Этo - this is; when describing a something (like "Этo мoй дoм")
Этoт - this; when referring to an object that's close to the speaker or the listener
Этa - this; same as Этoт except only for feminine gender
Эти - these; same as Этoт except plural
Дeвoчкa - impolite word for "girl" if you use it to describe a mature woman. But it's ok to use it for an underage girl.
Дeвyшкa - polite version of "girl", more like "woman".
Same as you do in english with "this" vs "he/she"
Bad post, don't try to help if you're clueless about grammar

WTF. How is TOPOR feminine? How is KOT neutral? How is LOSHKA masculine? You are insane.
