minus-squareDarkness343@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down4·2 天前English is such a poor language that they only have the article The and nouns without genders. Seethe and cope.
minus-squareQuestionMark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 天前My native language doesn’t have any articles and there is no distinction between he and she.
minus-squareQuestionMark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 天前Nope. It’s Persian (also known as Farsi, or Parsi). Persian’s roots are actually closer to English than Arabic: Persian is an Indo-European language, same as English, while Arabic is a Semitic language.
minus-squareQuestionMark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 天前It’s Persian. I’ve noticed a lot of gendered words seemingly have roots in Arabic: the words for paternal uncle, paternal aunt, maternal aunt, and maternal uncle for example. I guess the neutrality is something that survived of our ancient culture. The history (of Persia and the language) is deeply fascinating, but also confusing, and at times you’ll come across a lot of contradictions. There are so many lies and different perspectives. I regret my ignorance when it comes to this topic.

May I ask what language that may be?
