>in french if you have a group of let's say 1 million girls and 1 single guy you call them by "ils" which is a plural MASCULINE pronoun.

lel
In french if you have a group of let's say 1 million girls and 1 single guy you call them by "ils" which is a plural...
Do W*stoid feminists really?
Based, it's the same in Spanish
Spanish works the same way and I've seen people get butthurt about it too but nobody takes them seriously
Feminists are pushing for a neutral genre such as iels
The Académie française told them to fuck off
>having genders in your language
CRINGE
>amigues
>compañeres
>todes
it's the same in Hebrew
Based. I hope the RAE does the same if it happens with Spanish too
>A table
>Not she table
>A pencil
>Not he pencil
Same in Arabic
based latin languages
>Sprachen die Geschlechter haben
>I hope the RAE does the same
They did and it even was a woman who told them to fuck off
>La directora del Departamento de ‘Español al día’ de la Real Academia Española (RAE), Elena Hernández, ha defendido el uso genérico del masculino gramatical como el “mecanismo inclusivo” del que se dota la lengua para aludir a colectivos formados por hombres y mujeres, en lugar del desdoble de términos o lenguaje inclusivo, una práctica que, a su juicio, hay que evitar. Ha considerado además, que las estrategias de desdoble “no tendrán implantación real” y “se quedarán en una moda”.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE MASCULINE PRONOUNS AS BOTH MASCULINE AND NEUTRAL GENDERS THAT'S SEXIST
Imagine being a f*Rstie so fucking much your biggest concern in life is the concept of grammatical gender.
Fuck w*Stoids
I'd unironically like a neutral gender to be admitted in portuguese language. I think it's pretty retarded that you can't make sentences without explicitly definining a gender desu.
Notice how it's only English speaking feminists who want to remove gender in other languages, especially those who aren't knowledgeable in the field of linguistics, because they don't understand the concept of grammatical gender. The irony is lost on them that they are a speaker of a dominant language trying to push linguistic and cultural imperialism on "less privileged" language groups.
>gendered languages
>the table (female) is in the room (male).
lole
T.tumblrina
In french we say ça, which means "it"
it's the same in portuguese but in that case it wouldn't be a problem to refer to the group in feminine form.
Wtf I love Elena
not even SJW, just a language afficionado
Well french women are already huge feminist whores so its good that there are atleast irrelevant things like this left for the men.
both are male actually
Both are female in most romance languages
Also this When you have a group full of girls and only like 1 guy, most people would use the feminine form as neutral without giving a shit. This whole thing is just feminazi autism.
same in greek and honestly I wish plural was gender neutral
I've been trying to translate some fantasy and gendered plural is giving me serious trouble
realistically speaking it would only take a few weeks of adjusting
katharevousa (basically shitty fake ancient greek) has gendered plural nominative articles, but modern greek does not differentiate between masc plural nominative and fem plural nominative
it doesn't differentiate between masc plural genitive and fem plural genitive either
unfortunately it still differentiates between masc plural accusative and fem plural accusative and that's basically a bug at this point, not a feature
if it was actually important we'd have separate masc/fem plural nominative and genitive articles
Table is male and room is female here
also on top of that greek has a thing where you have to state the person's gender at all times except in the vocative, and that's a huge issue too
like
male-john and female-mary bought a present for female-alex but they didn't get anything for male-jack
the gender is stated at all times
It's just going to become de facto male or female.
Abolishing grammatical gender is an unrealistic pipe dream. If simple spelling reforms that try to change the spelling of one non-phonemic word usually don't work, hell if abolishing a grammatical aspect that exists in every noun would!
But wouldn't that be pretty fucking hard?
Gay.
That's kinda hot.
Russia wins.
