  • I know. But anytime I actively tell myself "don't overthink it, relax and see what's coming, accept that you don't have the answer", it goes wrong, I forget shit, I overlook shit, it turns out I could've done something and didn't and now it's a mess.

  • That's okay, I'm just confused/intrigued at how anyone is going to identify a reference based on a common saying. Like "Goodnight, sleep tight" or "goddammit" or "kids these days". I'll be lurking to see what happens :)

  • Reference? That's just a saying.

  • What do you consider trolling? Can it be harmless?

    Jump

  • Trolling in its original sense can be extremely annoying but is ultimately harmless and easily and safely ignored ("Don't feed the trolls") because the troll will eventually be bored at not getting a reaction. The term has unfortunately come to be used for legitimate criticism that the speaker doesn't like as well as actual harassment. Sending dick pics or calling out terfs is not trolling.

  • Can you do something about it?

    ☐ yes☐ no☒ maybe?? something might occur to me if i just think hard enough about it?? not like that hasn't worked in the past.

  • Might be nice to know when this was posted (you know, in order to know what "right about now" is) but somebody decided to crop out the date.

  • Yes, that doesn't negate the fact that genderedness serves a purpose. It's not simply there to annoy language learners.

  • nur Bahnhof verstehen

    Jump

  • That's the thing, it's only an effort if you're actively learning the language. Natives think about the gender of nouns only in certain, rare edge-cases that are ill-defined, like loanwords or "artificial" words (Nutella is gender-fluid). It would make more sense to just define those edge-cases than to try to get rid of gendered nouns.

  • Take this example:

    "Bob took his hat out of the bag and dropped it." What did he drop?

    "Bob nahm seinen Hut aus der Tasche und ließ sie fallen." "Bob took his male hat out of the female bag and dropped her." Ah, he dropped the bag!

    There's better examples, I'm sure, but having gendered pronouns makes references clearer than everything just being "it". It's a way to structure sentences that may not be vital to understanding (because obviously there are languages that work perfectly fine without it) but makes it easier. Like capitalising nouns or clear rules for where to put commas can make reading easier.

  • I'd be surprised if there weren't a female "worker" in Polish, "workeress" as it were, same for any other such nouns.

  • nur Bahnhof verstehen

    Jump

  • I prefer dealing with complicated but ultimately rule-based stuff like は/が over the utter nonsense that is grammatical gender (and I'm German).

    Edit: and because I see heated discussion about it elsewhere: grammatical gender is a very convenient thing to have (not to learn) and I wouldn't abolish it (just wouldn't want to learn it).

  • Okay, nice to know. Doesn't change anything about what I said, does it?

    Jump

  • Can it just be nature? I think it diminishes the natural beauty around us if we're calling natural things "art", as if there's a maker, an artificer behind it, as if a mind like ours were needed to produce beautiful things, as if natural things should be so lucky to be considered worthy the label of "art". I say this while fancying myself an artist. (Never mind the fact that space images are very rarely unedited and usually don't show the colours you'd see with your own eyes)
