"A glass"

Translation: Et glass

[marc797656]

Now Im a sexiest because I put en glass. Hehe

[BonitaRush]

Why is it et and not en?

[Ravnin]

Because the grammatical gender of 'glass' is neuter.

[PD711]

I think I remember from a previous lesson that a glass of milk was en glass melk, so do the contents of the glass change its gender?

[AlexAces]

Why must it have a gender? 'Tis a word, not a person. "Engelsk" is much less complicated as a language.

[Dargonborn420]

id argue that the only way english is less complicated is that it doesn't have many gender based grammatical conventions

[bjamri]

Discussing gender based rules or conventions is quite useless, isn't it? It is as it is. Want to learn another language? Then learn it. It think it is a bit challenging, but is that not most of the fun of it?

[svenska1227]

English words: thought, tough, though, straight, cough. It is pretty complicated, and I'm a native speaker.

[Neil70079]

A lot of English people struggle with there/their/they're, your/you're etc. More complicated than people realise at times :)

[TobyBartels]

Why must a person have a gender either? There's no justification for these things; languages are just weird.
