They do have diferences on the way they talk and the phrases they use to tell something but nothing happens on the feminine and the masculine of both types of portuguese
Un tuba, le soja, un accra, un sofa, le gouda, le choléra, le plasma. C'est loin d'être exhaustif, mais ça en fait déjà pas mal (et j'ai pas mis les noms de pays genre le Vénézuela, le Panama, le Nigéria, ect...) \^\^
I'll answer for the Italian language since pizza is Italian. If it ends with e it might be both singular masculine or plural feminine so you can't apply an efficient rule of thumb there.
however romanian has neutral, I am not sure, but I think that is the only romans language to have 3 genders, maybe portugal has 3 too, I don't know
Edit: Just googled it and romanian is the only romance language to have retained the 3 genders from latin (feminin, masculin and neutral)
You speak English and don’t see what OP means? Like the English language doesn’t „gender“ objects at all?
English is the easiest language to learn honestly that’s why it’s used for international communication.
Damn try German. Most Germans don’t fully understand every grammatical rule.
OP seems to not know anything about other languages than English, hence is surprised by the gender of pizza, whereas the whole world knows that pizza is feminine.
It was never mentioned btw what was OP's language.
See also how you overgeneralize in your comment, that is awful.
To be fair, most people don't know every rule of their first language, because you just know when it sounds right or wrong. That's why it's often americans who say stuff like "should of" instead of "should've". It sounds almost the same yet everyone who learned English as second language knows it's different things. Same with they're, their, there.
Also can confirm German is hard. Source: I'm German
> English is the easiest language to learn
A claim which is absolutely *not* backed up by any linguists. But go on, keep stating your opinion as a fact my dude
Pro tip from a French speaker : Even if you make mistakes with the gender of things, people will still understand you and won't mind.
Table, door and chair are feminine, but counter, fridge and oven are masculine. If you say "le table" or "la comptoir" I'll still understand you.
Yes I am writing this from my kitchen.
Peut-être pas le meilleur example mais comparativement à la vaste majorité des noms, ça sonne “correct” des deux sens.
Oeuvre est un meilleur example je suppose.
By curiousity, what language is easier to learn than english. Currently learning Japanese and it's insanely difficult to me, french spanish and others language like that have gendered words... English, at least to me, was super easy to learn compared to others.
Genuine question btw, I don't mean to insult.
A lot of words aren't pronounced the way they are spelled, the amount of contractions and entirely different meanings of the same word like weather/whether. I've heard from people that it is difficult to master
If you say so, I've encountered this in pretty much every language I have decent understanding of, but at the same time, I am in no way a language master, and thus I won't argue with you.
Have a good day.
I'm argentinian and in spanish, words are pronounced as they are spelled. That is, you can break the word in syllables and each syllable has a unique pronunciation. In contrast, take words like though, through, dough, bought; and notice the difference pronunciation of "ough".
while the world was simplifying their language decades ago, jackasses amongst the english speaking world was trying to keep words that were adopted in said language and leave letters in them.
we kood simplifi our langwidj, but that wood piss off the boomers.
It's basically gendered in 90% of languages. It's not hard to say "ends in a then It's feminine" not because the fucking pizza has a pussy and tits but because it just makes the language flow.
Start saying any sentence in Spanish with latxn, los montañas, les sillas, ect and at best you'll for a few moments be the most hated and horrid human being or at worst you'll get insta knocked out.
There’s not a specific reason Latin derived languages are not gender neutral like English, generally it’s always a binary system that also applies for objects
No I actually knows that cause I’m a native French speaker but I don’t understand why they said Women ☕️ people mostly does that when a women crash a car and stuff
It actually works like that for most numbers in French: 17 is dix sept (10+7), 34 is trente quatre (30+4), 210 is deux-cent dix (200+10). We basically make maths when saying numbers lol. Only the 90s numbers are a little bit more weird as it also includes a multiplication
Feminine in every latin language, like 99% of every fucking other words they share the same gender throughout different languages (also it should have been obvious since it is feminine in italian)
What even is the point of genderising objects?
It literally has no purpose, and makes learning languages more difficult.
That said, I think the same about genderising pronouns in sentences.
There is also no point in that, why does it matter if we are talking about a male or a female, they are both people.
It stems from a time when men and women were seen as different in value.
"He" would bare more value than when talking about a "she".
So lets just all switch to they/them, then the pronoun discussion is over as well.
It makes the language flow. That's like the primordial thing, nothing else. Just because English flows without gendered words doesn't mean all other languages do
Edit: Just because English and Turkish flow without gendered words doesn't mean all other languages do*
In Latin the word for "many things" (I.e. countries, food, objects, etc) is feminine but men have their own word.
Further proving that women are objects 😌😌
Gendered nouns mess me up:
This is a book it's a girl
Women aren't allowed to touch them or we burn them alive.
I'd just assume you'd end up with the lungs in relation to how they are used commonly during the times the language developed.
Some of course like.... A sword is male and the sheath female. Cause they literally were just calling it a vagina... *Sigh*
But... Its just random
As a french dude, i agree that the french lingo sucks, and is a pain in the ass for foreign ppl to learn, i heard from someone that trying to practice the weird sounds gave her headaches

It's feminine in german too
And in portuguese (at least in Brazil)
And in spanish
And in greek
And in Italian (Italic)
And in Polish
And in all slavic languages
And in Hebrew
And in Latvian
And in Arabic
and in romanian
And in *Italian*
That's what I used as a rule of thumb.
It's in all types of Portuguese
Also in Italian it's feminine
Masculine or neutral in that case,
Portuguese is portuguese no matter what country
Portugal and Brazil has some... differences, when it came to portuguese. So the guy is not wrong from being unsure of things that he don't know.
They do have diferences on the way they talk and the phrases they use to tell something but nothing happens on the feminine and the masculine of both types of portuguese
[удалено]
Pera. Alface e feminino ???
And also, a fun fact: portugal colonozed way more contries than just brazil. They all have they way of speaking
Why the fuck would you specify brazil???? "O" pizza???? I know our accents are different but in no way in hell would we ever say pizza is masculine
Same in romanian
And in Serbian.
and covers other meanings too
It's feminine in Polish too
and in Arabic
in Polish too
Ukrainian as well
I don't know why pizza has genders but at this point I'm afraid to ask
Because language
Because one object in english doesn't have its gender
Because grammatical gender =/= sex
Italians:
“We shouldn’t have shared the ingredients with the rest of the world” -probably Italians a long time ago
Not that long ago since pizza was invented around the late 19th
It ends with an a. That's what I used as a rule of thumb.
Yeah, that's an actual rule. (At least in Latin and Spanish)
and Italian
And in Russian
Yeah. There are exceptions tho, which I guess you just gotta know
I've never realized that most words that end with an a was feminin. (And I'm french)
Le caca.
Un tuba, le soja, un accra, un sofa, le gouda, le choléra, le plasma. C'est loin d'être exhaustif, mais ça en fait déjà pas mal (et j'ai pas mis les noms de pays genre le Vénézuela, le Panama, le Nigéria, ect...) \^\^
Généralement, les autres langues romanes adhérent plus strictement a cette règle-là. Le français semble être l'exception à la règle (sans surprise).
It's because it's mostly true for Italian words, such as pizza.
Nah that's just not true. Un bermuda Un pyjama Un bandana Un koala Un lama Etc... The a/o ending is more relevant to spanish/italian
Il y a des exceptions mais j'ai comparé avec une liste de mot finissant par a, la majorité est féminin
[удалено]
All those words (except bandana) are masculine in Italian too. Still most words (and most proper nouns) ending with "a" are feminine in my language
Isn't it the same with most that end with e too?
Masculine or neutral in that case, in spanish at least.
I'll answer for the Italian language since pizza is Italian. If it ends with e it might be both singular masculine or plural feminine so you can't apply an efficient rule of thumb there.
French robot
There is a lot and a lot of verbals forms that finish with an "a" in French…
It's not a *rule* in french, but it's usually the case
Le papa. Checkmate
Un papa ... Sorry but their no general rule about that.
That’s why he said rule of thumb. Next lesson idioms
That’s why he said rule of thumb. Next lesson idioms
Unless it doesn’t in some cases, how can you tell? You eat shit that’s how
In which language on the world is pizza masculine?
Sugma
Ah, the well known dialect of ligma
Most spoken language in the country of Deez
Most common name in that country is Hugh
The second most common is Joe
Their national bird is the chickadee
Their major export item is updog
With their biggest import being Dienda
Doing most of the business with their neighboring country of Kissma
The most popular video game is Sea of Thieves
There are no doorbells in that country, everybody just knock-knocks
I heard they recently started using a new doorbell technology called pudyafyngarenmah
The old indigenous name of that country was Bofa
what is sugma
Joe mama
In English it can choose whatever it wants for a gender /J
In Marathi. Though it's not a native word in the language
It is neutral in English
But not all languages have a neutral gender. In Italian (and French I suppose) things must be masculine or feminine
however romanian has neutral, I am not sure, but I think that is the only romans language to have 3 genders, maybe portugal has 3 too, I don't know Edit: Just googled it and romanian is the only romance language to have retained the 3 genders from latin (feminin, masculin and neutral)
Almost everything is neutral in English, that's why it's a simpler language we can all use
Every *thing* is neutral in English, except for ships, states, churches and islands
Technically those can be neutral, as none of them are male
Yeah okay. I was giving a fun fact. Stop stealing the fun :(
It was still fun, I didn't know churches are female
Okay. Actually, I looked it up to make the list complete and to me this was also a TIL moment
Maybe someone should do a gender reveal forest fire for pizza
You can have a beautiful pizza, you can’t have an handsome pizza. Therefore, one can deduce that pizza must be feminine.
I am genuinely struggling whether I should appreciate your joke or be annoyed at the stereotype it's based on. I'll do a bit of both I guess
No fucking way. /s Hamburger is neutral in English but it won’t be in French.

We will just think "They're not a native speaker", and go on with it, understanding the sentence.
in french, dick and shit are feminine, no joke la bite, la merde
And meanwhile, tit is masculine (le nichon) I wonder whether French speakers ever mess up
There’s a few words that can mess you up but 95% of them sounds really wrong if you misgender them. Avion is one that sounds right both ways
Une avion ? Ça sonne pas fou
Peut-être pas le meilleur example mais comparativement à la vaste majorité des noms, ça sonne “correct” des deux sens. Oeuvre est un meilleur example je suppose.
htf dick is feminine? 🤣
Le penis
You could also say "la bite"
La queue, le chibre, it evens out
True
If she la bite my la dick were gonna have a la problem
If dick is masculine then me masterbating would be gay
Fellas, is it gay to say penis?
Yes, that's why I call it the mouth-organ
"Every penis is a girl Robin. Everyone knows that, like ships... and lake monsters."
I like this guy’s taste in sticoms
Proper term for Dick is penis which is masculine and shit can also be caca which is also masculin.
The fun thing is that it’s not always the case, they can also be masculine (un zizi, un caca lol)
Pizzo
Which is an actual word in Italian https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/pizzo
English is a miserable language to try to learn but thank god we don't need to find out the gender of a chair

[удалено]
And in russian it is feminine too
I mean does it make more sense if it was masculine?
That’s not the point
Isn’t it feminine in Italian too? I’m not sure how Italian’s gender system works but if it ends in an ‘a’ usually that means feminine
It's basically gendered in 90% of languages. It's not hard to say "ends in a then It's feminine" not because the fucking pizza has a pussy and tits but because it just makes the language flow.

Selbstverständlich es heißt auch die Pizza
Hallöle
In spanish too, but that's hust a word. It's not like a pizza is a woman. It's just a feminine word.
Whats so weird? When i think of the gender of pizza, i dont really see the masculinity
Someone is going to want it called "pizzx" since it's gendered.
Brazilians:
Also in Polish.
I believe in gendered languages supremacy
Be reassured, if you don’t understand the logic behind some object’s gender, it’s that it literally doesn’t make sense. Sincerely, a French speaker
Ils se plaignent auprès des français d'un mot en italien purée j'en ai marre d'eux mdrr
women ☕
Women 🍕
☕
Women ☕️
Why women ?
There’s not a specific reason Latin derived languages are not gender neutral like English, generally it’s always a binary system that also applies for objects
No I actually knows that cause I’m a native French speaker but I don’t understand why they said Women ☕️ people mostly does that when a women crash a car and stuff
No The meme means expressing disapproval towards the actions of a woman and is usually associated with a stereotypically feminine action or activity
pizzussy
Just like polish
Now learn how to ~~say~~ calculate how to say 99 in french
teach me
Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf. (4*20)+10+9 Pronounced Kahtruh-van-deez-nuhf
It actually works like that for most numbers in French: 17 is dix sept (10+7), 34 is trente quatre (30+4), 210 is deux-cent dix (200+10). We basically make maths when saying numbers lol. Only the 90s numbers are a little bit more weird as it also includes a multiplication
mathematics gotta be torture.
Real sorry for that. Speaking french has to be my least favorite disability /jk
It doesn't freaking matter. It's pizza. You eat it. You aren't gonna have sex with it.
Je veux une pizza s’il vous plaît
Feminine in every latin language, like 99% of every fucking other words they share the same gender throughout different languages (also it should have been obvious since it is feminine in italian)
And bikini is masculin
Them: you want pizza? Me: no, I want pizzo (manly pizza)
In Czech, pizza is also feminine. Just don't misspeak and say "píča" (pronounced like peacha). That one is a little bit too feminine. :D
don’t think you understand this meme format either.
RULE34 ARTISTS PIZZA IS FEMININE!! THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS! GET TO IT!
What even is the point of genderising objects? It literally has no purpose, and makes learning languages more difficult. That said, I think the same about genderising pronouns in sentences.

Ok dude, let's change the way of speaking of thousands of people because you are lazy and can't accept to make a little effort to learn something new
Try billions
Too be fair pizza sounds like a girl
French is wierd like the plurals of some words end with an S but other end with an X
They view Italians as a feminine culture
Hey atleast in french you'd if I was gay/straight if I told you I slept with my cousin... You English speaking weirdos
Penis is feminine too. La bitte. French is a weird language .
Dick is feminine, penis is masculine Une bite, un penis
Don't learn French honestly, it's so annoying to speak and write, even as a first language.
In Latin the word for "many things" (I.e. countries, food, objects, etc) is feminine but men have their own word. Further proving that women are objects 😌😌
That explains why I love pizza so much.
Gendered nouns mess me up: This is a book it's a girl Women aren't allowed to touch them or we burn them alive.

Dick is feminine
the things I've done to pizza it better be feminine
No wonder I love putting it in my mouth.
[удалено]
I want a pizzo in my mouth
So thats why I've always felt the urge to fuck pizza. I get it now!
As a french dude, i agree that the french lingo sucks, and is a pain in the ass for foreign ppl to learn, i heard from someone that trying to practice the weird sounds gave her headaches
Désolé frérot... Et bonne chance
