I've found that most of the time, just pick the most sexist answer you can think of, and you'll typically be right!

I really don't like gendered languages.

I only studied french for a short time, but I feel like that really doesn't work for french:

  • chemisier, blouse, is masculine
  • ceinture, belt, is feminine

Those were the two onces I could remember like this half a year after ending my french studies, but could be that those are only two uncommon counterexamples.

Also, both of these are what you would "expect" in German (die Bluse, der Gürtel)

Well it works for this example, because lave-vaisselle is feminine. The root vasselle (dishes) is feminine.

Vaisselle is feminine, but lave-vaisselle is masculine.
