minus-squareFlaglinkfedilink3•10 months agoNot in lotr world. There its the opposite, with the male moon chasing the ‘flaming hot’ female sun across the skies. Flaming hot is my addition but its kinda remarkably fitting : )
minus-square@WereCatlink2•10 months ago Ten (he) mesiac (moon) To (it) slnko (sun) We got neutral genders in Slovak as well. For example Tá žena (that (she) woman) To dievča (that (it) girl) Ten chlap (that (he) man) It all depends on how the word sounds and changes when you say it in different ways (skloňovanie / bending the word). And we also got 4 patterns for each gender based on which how the word changes so you get over 20 combinations on how to say word in each gender.
