POLROD, GENDER
Gender: the grammatical classsification of nouns and related words, found mainly in Indo-Europian and Semetic languages roughly corresponding to the two sexes and sexlessness.
m) masculine, muzxju; (f) feminine, zxenju; (n) neuter, bezpolrodju; (c) common, spolju.
Bujme vidit kak gramatju polrod es uviadilju vo Germanikju jazika:
Na primer: muzx (c), zxen (c), dete (c).
Nemcju:
der Mann (m), die Frau (f), das Kind (n).
Netherlandju:
de mens (c), de vrouw (c), het kind (n).
English:
the man (c) , the woman (c), the (c)
Afrikaans (naimlodju jazika Germanikju):
die mens (c), die vrou (c), die kind (c) .
Ot tut mi ucxit seba, zxe Slovio i modernju Germanikju jazika ne imat polrod razlicxie.

Igor:
The problem is that people don't want to accept things common to Slavic languages like gender and create silly languages that don't have it.

So according to Igor, the English language, although spoken all over the world by quite a few million people, is a silly language. Kak blaznju!
Igor pisal:
Yes, because English was made by some linguist as a Pan-Germanic language, right?
===
Wrong!
You are criticizing Slovio in the same way as German nationalists criticize(d) Engish not being Germanic not only because it dropped its gender!
