    We’ve actually got 3 genders, but outside Flanders, people don’t seem to know the distinction anymore. The darn Dutch ruined Dutch!

      I had no idea this was another thing Flanders did differently than the Netherlands (and pretty much every other “Netherlandophone” area)

        It’s really handy when you’re learning German as their gender tends to be the same (het/een huis -> das Haus; de/nen hond -> der Hund; de/een kat(te) -> die Katze).
