minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoHow does that work out? I mean in french you’d gender it by what it is defining. A yellow car, the “A” is gendered the same as the cars gender. Oh. I think I get it. That must be confusing for foreigners! Cheers Polish brothers and sisters!
minus-squarehOrni@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·9 months agoNah. Having pronouns would be too easy. We are changing the end of the word. Yellow would be “żółty” if male, “żółta” if female and “żółte” if genderless or plural. Unless male plural, then it would be “żółci”.
