My two main fluent languages are not gendered. It was such a weird concept when I started to learn French.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Uh-oh. I've heard this one before.
What do you mean you heard it before, it’s a brand new?
Try Polish. Our verbs and adjectives are also gendered.
A washing machine is feminine, how is it in french?
In my language we have genders for every noun. But it is trivially deducted from the spelling/pronunciation of that noun.
Tell me the Gender of Nutella or Yogurt, then :)
La nutella (she) y el (he) yogurt.

I'm just happy that washing machine has the same gender in French as my language and not a different one
