Plus we have that whole thing where the only way to know if any definitive noun uses the “en” or “et” suffix (or the same as a separate word in front of the noun if it’s indefinite) is to know already 🤦😄
Sure, but in most cases, there’s something loosely related to rules and logic about it.
In Danish, the grammatical genders aren’t 'male, female, nongender". There’s nongender and multigender, and ABSOLUTELY no reason for anything being one or the other 🤷🏻
Ah yes this table is such a masculine table, such a good example of how all tables manifest masculinity, by um, having uh, legs and um.
Describing any noun gendering in any language reads like a “we have been played for absolute fools” meme.
If it makes you feel better, grammatical genders in Norwegian are arbitrary too. There are no rules or tricks to help you figure out if a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter. :S

Grammatical gender is a thing in a shitload of languages.
