I can understand the concept behind verb conjugation and how that could be beneficial, but I think the concept of gendering of objects will always seem strange to me tbh. My computer and bed are male but my chair is female for some reason, does this really add anything?

I know it doesn't make sense to look at it in that way since that's just not how the development of language works, but it's just so foreign of a concept to me as someone that has grown up in a family that has spoken only English for the past ~60 years. And I know full well that English doesn't really "make sense" very often as well :p

Do you mean to tell me that "wine" and "travelling" are not personality traits too?

For the major part of the words you can already see if it are male or female words, because it ends for a ‘a’ or ‘o’. Than there are a few exceptions which you might have to learn but overall it isn’t the end of the world of you make a mistake with it

This is true, but I'd say that for me it has come quite naturally.

English is something I heard on tv and the tv shows were American and English. We studied French from when I was 8 or something, until I was 18. So this is a long process and it does involve a lot of reading. Italian I learnt mainly from living there, so obviously you take in the culture.

It's interesting you say that though, because I noticed that sometimes native English speakers are not only not adept at speaking other languages but also completely oblivious to cultural differences. They say and do incredibly rude stuff. Of course I might make similar mistakes in Japan or Tunisia, in countries I don't know at all. But they can be so crass in Europe.

See British girls have those personality traits but they also like F1 and Sunday roast. A lot more complex than American women :agree:

Oh yes this I know, but I mean I just find it strange and perhaps interesting that in Italian for example you have 4 ways of saying "the" with no difference in meaning whatsoever, but you would say "il bicchiere" because somewhere along the line, it was universally decided that my glass on the table here is a male.

Foot fetish is pretty vanilla. I smashed a girl who had a spit fetish. She wanted me to spit in her mouth.
