Why do so many languages have gendered nouns? Why does English not have them?

505 viewsOther

I’m curious as to what the initial purpose of gendering every noun would be, since (from what I understand) it doesn’t really change the meaning of the sentence, just the form of certain words. Also, since English evolved from many of the ~~Romance~~ European languages that do have gendered nouns, why do we not use them in English?

English speakers trying to paint half of the world as “weird” because now in 2024 they don’t use 3 genders that English people used a thousand years before.

ELI5: NO. Gendered nouns is a standard, not a minority, so screw you.
