is that like how you have to memorize every single articels (der, die, das) for every word in german?
Exactly, gendered langage. But French has only two genders, no neutral like German.
And the washing machine is a Lady, any machine btw :)
But at least pronunciation is mostly consistent.
In English two words can be written almost exactly the same but sound wildly different.
Looking at you, words with "ough"
And then there's the wars about der/die/das Nutella :>
