    no. our entire language is gendered.

    stop saying things you understand nothing about. do you speak any language similar to spanish at all?

    usians

    yes, funny how you name yourself after an entire continent like you own it. pretty fitting to your hissy fit though.

      Please tell me whether the word estudiante is masculine or feminine. How about paz, felicidad or azul?

      No the entire language is not gendered but do go on about the language you claim to know but haven’t actually mastered.

      Usians is not a term one gives themselves it’s a derogatory term used by others for exclusion and it’s ironic that you’d use one intended as an insult trying to defend against the use of one for inclusivity.

        la paz, la felicidad. both feminine.

        give me a break. at least learn the language you have the gall to demand us to change before you do.

        you just showed a reason why we are derogatory to you.

          Yet you don’t understand why you have to use la to refer to those words, here’s a hint it’s because they aren’t gendered. If you’re going for the egg on my face look you’re absolutely nailing it. 10/10

        My guy, estudiante and azul are adjectives, so they take the substantive’s gender. The others are femenine, but can be applied to men cuz grammatical👏 gender👏 isn’t👏 people’s👏 gender👏

          Grammatically those words don’t have gender until applied to a subject which means they themselves don’t have gender if talked about in the abstract which means that the entirety of the language is not in fact gendered. Which is my point. The person you’re defending didn’t even have that knowledge.
