Why do some languages have masculine and feminine words for inanimate objects.

For example, when you say “the door” in French, it’s feminine; “La porte” instead of “Le porte”. What happens if I use “Le” instead of “La”? Does it change the meaning?

Gender has become an obsession lately, but grammatically gender is merely a way of classifying how nouns and objects connect to each other.

Las patatas bravas estan muy deliciosas. The Potatoes Bravas are very delicious.

Why is deliciosas (delicious) plural? Because patatas is plural. Why is deliciosas feminine? Patata is feminine.

Grammatical Gender has nothing to with Human Sexual Gender
