English is a fucking retarded language that has a bunch of arbitrary "rules" and exceptions "just because"

They don't even have gendered nouns and their verb conjugations are a fucking joke.
Good thing this toddler-tier language became the lingua franca because any retard can learn it.

Spaniards just can't speak English, period.
Countless times I've stumbled upon videos by them on youtube about tech or stuff and they say shit like
>"la red güi-fi"
>"es de 2.3 jiga ercios"
etc

>gendered nouns

But that’s a good thing.
>hurr durr table is feminine
>hurt durr chair is masculine

Don’t pretend you support this nonsense for any reason other than you were born with it and know no other alternative. Arbitrary complexity for the sake of it

Exactly, it makes perfect sense.

Like this. It's like a fly, but it's nice, like butter, so it's a butterfly

Not sure if this is meant to say that gendered language is useful or not

>a guy and a girl : amigos
based macho brothers

>genders for inanimate objects

I think almost all indo-european languages have gender so it's your language that's is odd. Remember that it got raped by French. Old English had cases and stuff.

>guy guy: amigos
>guy girl: amigos
>girl girl: amigas

stupid language

"the lawyer" -> you don't know if it's female or male
"A advogada" -> I already know they're talking about a woman

Male is the default in our language.

You have no idea how our feminists get triggered by it.

same retarded shit in German

or you could just say friend sweaty xx

I don't think anyone is going to complain about actual people having different titles. Remember, we have king and queen, lord and lady, Mr and Mrs, all that stuff. What IS stupid is saying a table is male or whatever, it's literally pointless

You are like a babies. Watch this.

But the thing is English WAS like that but you got invaded by the norman and your language changed.
This is how your language was:
>Nouns decline for five cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental;

three genders: masculine, feminine, neuter;

>and two numbers: singular, and plural; and are strong or weak.

See you had 3 genders!

We're well aware that it's a mutt language, I actually quite like it being a mess, it means that you can do pretty much anything and it will make sense because there are no rules that make things nonsensical. Maybe that's why everyone says it's 'easy' despite having no easy rules to learn

>using gendered pronouns

>yo corro / corrí / correré
>el/ella corre / corrió / correrá
>tu corres / corriste / correrás
>nosotros corremos / corrimos / correremos
>ustedes corren / corrieron / correrán

>I run / ran / will run
>she/he runs / ran / will run
>you run / ran / will run
>we run / ran / will run
>they run / ran / will run

But then we grew up because "toast" doesn't need a gender.
We still vaguely have genders in a unneeded way, for example ships are still feminine, and Great Britain is still feminine:
>"The Titanic was said to be an unsinkable ship, she sank."
>"I love all of Britain, from her green meadows to her beautiful coast."

That's about it however, even then changing your words to include no genders is perfectly acceptable.
>"The Titanic was said to be an unsinkable ship, it sank."
>"I love all of Britain, from its green meadows to its beautiful coast."

Oh wow what a sexist language

>we grew up
No, you were forced to change your language and probably a creole language was created. There's even a hypothesis

>not having he/she/it
>where he and she are treated the same, but it differently

ships are always feminine m8

giggled

ketchup is masculine.

fucking this jesus fucking christ the absolutely most awkward shit in all of the languages combined.
Like how the fuck do you get le most widespread language worldwide and not have the absolute basic vocabulary to differentiate between a friend of yours that is female and a girl that you're fucking.

but it's a male

:^)

mucha here. But dimunitive is "muszka" which is pronounced "moushka"

>mydge, from old english mycge
spanish how?

>caught
>cot

why the fuck are engltards even more retarded than the french when it comes to put random unpronounced letters in words?

oh the irony. In non-pidgin languages like english gender is used to show noun-verb accordance. In other words it clarifies the syntactic meaning of sentences. But we lost our declensions a thousand years ago and we lose more all the time. Yeah it doesn't make sense in languages like english or Chinese but for most of time and in like all languages (semitic and indo-european) they use it and its not pointless
