Well - on this particular subject the German language is pretty accurate: der Penis (male), der Hoden die Vagina (female), die Brust, die Klitoris, Schamlippen One exception that comes to mind is "die Prostata" 😋
@Arved Jeltsch I know, I speak German myself. I just think it's funny that French gets all the flack on the international stage for being complicated when German is just as bad or worse - your view on that probably depends on personal preferences.
@Maygan Phynix we didn't choose it lmao, it's how the language evolved from latin ! Maybe some centuries in the future french words won't have genders anymore
@Aurorya It evolved poorly! Of course, this comes from someone who speaks a language in which tear and tear are pronounced differently... Climb and limb... Right, right write, rite, wright... Oh well.
Pour les amateurs de bon sens on peux aussi dire une chatte et peut être 5 ou 6 autres synonymes du bon sexe. En fait chaque sexe a quelque 30 synonmes dont toujoirs un grand nombre au masculin et un autre grand nombre au feminin
I know 6 languages (some just basics, some fluent) and I just *have* to give an example here. The word egg. English: Egg French: œf Turkish: yumurta Japanese: tamago German: Ei German words aren't actually that long. The only thing is that you can just add words at the end of other words to make new words. Jokes are funny but this one gets old and also was never funny to begin with.
German words are just combination of short ones without spaces in between. They're rarely invented new words, just combining the already existing ones.
@Ela Explorer That's not "wrong". Grammatical gender has absolutely nothing to do with masculine or feminine anthropomorphic qualities. It just changes the way verbs and adjectives are used around that word. I guess it's something only people who speak a gendered language natively would understand; it's not at all weird for me because I grew up speaking Marathi.
It makes sense. Men interact with the women parts, women interact with the men's. In a sense it shows that we work together or even belong to each other, not just ourselves.
Oh, is that the sound of me cancelling my entire day to make a little moustache for my nethers and then film a whole show where they solve crimes and then realise that I cannot post this show anywhere despite the fact it is a groundbreaking masterpiece because I will be instantly cancelled and then eating grated cheese direct from the bag to comfort myself? Yes, that is the exact sound that is.
"MAN WITH A MUSTACHE" I busted out laughing so loud they heard me in the other room and since it's females over there I can't even explain what I was laughing at.
Big fan. Wish I would've thought of this concept... I'm also trilingual. Born in Montreal, from Salvadoran parents, moved to Texas 20 years ago. I love this!
Q for the Romance language native speakers: what are your thoughts when someone gets the gendering of something wrong? Does it just sound ‘wrong’/unnatural but you still know exactly what they’ve talking about & the conversation continues uninterrupted? Or does clarification normally happen before conversation continues? Or something else entirely? (I’m aware the answer might be different for different languages/words etc.)
Parce que c'est exactement ça, le seul but c'est que ce soit agréable à l'oreille. C'est aussi une particularité des langues latines, il faut que les mots se suivent et s'enchaînent de manière fluide, le tout en restant mélodieux.
En revanche il doit belle et bien avoir des sortes de "règles" sous jacentes. On sait distinguer instinctivement, quand on a le français en langue maternelle, quel genre irait le mieux à un mot qu'on vient d'entendre pour la première fois (en règle générale). Mais je me dit que quelqu'un dont le français n'est pas sa première langue ne sait pas instinctivement le faire. Du coup il doit il y avoir une sorte de connaissance inconsciente, quelque chose qui fait qu'on trouve "Une GameCube" plus jolie que "Un GameCube" même si on nous dit que c'est censé être masculin.
@Eterky Je pense que c'est juste le fait que toutes les autres consoles soient des "une" qui fait que. Je n'ai pas de contre exemple qui me vienne sur le moment.
@Eterky Pour la gamecube etc, en général (même tout le temps je crois) c'est féminin parce que c'est une console. Sinon beaucoup d'anglicismes sont masculins comme weekend (alors que c'est la fin de la semaine) et d'autres ont les 2 utilisés comme wifi ou covid (je parle de l'usage pas de l'avis de l'AF). Après c'est drôle pour la blague mais le genre grammatical a rien à voir avec le genre réel ou le sexe (le mot allemand pour une enfant est neutre au lieu de féminin et le mot russe pour homme est féminin). Et l'idée qu'on choisit le plus joli à l'oreille je suis pas certain. On trouve que c'est plus joli parce qu'on l'a toujours entendu mais si on t'avait toujours dit "un voiture" par exemple c'est de le mettre au féminin qui te choquerait. Désolé pour le mur de texte plus long à lire que la vidéo :)
@Eterky En vrai, je pense que c'est surtout lié à l'étymologie, beaucoup des mots viennent du latin, qui était déjà une langue genrée, et du grec, qui l'est aussi ^^ A la limite, y'a les mots neutres en latin qu'on a probablement accordé au feeling, avec une préférence pour le masculin. Genre utérus était neutre, hop masculin XD
as a person who speaks Russian, Azerbaijani, English, knows ein bisschen German and now learns French I really suffer with these articles en français 😢
Verge ends in e, which I believe is normally feminine grammatically, and vagin ends with an consent, which is grammatically masc. I am not french. However, just someone who took in school.
The e at the end of most word are not feminine grammatically relative in french. But most adjectif related to a feminin noun get a e at the end. So the only logical reason of why masculin or feminin is just that its sound better. No other rules sorry
you are correct, male parts are said in the feminine, and female parts, the masculine. in a weird way, it kind of makes sense.. maybe not inclusive, but.. it does make sense.
This language 'quirk' is very interesting. I tried to do some quick research once before teaching a class of nine-year-olds, so I'd have an answer as to why clothes have 'genders'. From what I could find out, it comes from a language a really, really long time ago where things were split into two categories - possibly 'alive' and 'not alive' (but we don't know for sure). As time progressed, the meanings of these categories were lost and then relabelled as 'masculine' and 'feminine', even though they originally had nothing to do with gender. That said, once certain languages started thinking about gender in their language, they started more deliberate gendering of some words. I can't remember off the top of my head, but things like keys either being considered slender and dainty and feminine in one language and so given a feminine pronoun in one emerging language, but hard and masculine in another, so being given a masculine pronoun.
In Polish we also have gender for nouns but it's not random like for German and French. There are some rules but I honestly don't remember them, with practice you can just feel what gender a noun has.
Reminds me of something, by this logic, a snail's pronoun should always be "they" in english and "iel" in french 😂🐌 (the blob's too, but it's waaay more complicated lol 😂)
In formal Spanish the names for female and male reproductive systems are gendered the same way, but most of the slang terms switch it, don't know why, I love it
I’m forcefully being taught french rn
Nobody is forcing you to watch this
@MADFUT_MagicMan11 Actually he is currently tied to a chair inside a French Secret Intelligence facility and being brainwashed into learning French.
@MADFUT_MagicMan11 it's like visual novels, they trick you into reading books!
@MADFUT_MagicMan11 its duolingo
@MADFUT_MagicMan11 you’re the smart one in your family
He needs to act. This guy is a very good actor
He already is an actor 😅
@Marie-Ameline C. where can I watch him? like a show or movie or anywhere?
@Osama Yousuf he does a lot of theatre plays
@Osama Yousuf I WISH. SO FREAKING MUCH.
He could be a double for Starlord? In the Marvel movies
German, maniacally cackling to itself in a corner:
Der dem dessen diesen etc. - Pure joy.
@Alex Droptin oh, don't you forget about the cases. They enable such wonders as der being used for female nouns.
Well - on this particular subject the German language is pretty accurate:
der Penis (male), der Hoden
die Vagina (female), die Brust, die Klitoris, Schamlippen
One exception that comes to mind is "die Prostata" 😋
@Arved Jeltsch for many years I can't get my head over das Mädchen;)
@Arved Jeltsch I know, I speak German myself.
I just think it's funny that French gets all the flack on the international stage for being complicated when German is just as bad or worse - your view on that probably depends on personal preferences.
French was very useful to me…to decide to become fluent in Spanish!
I second that
😂
@Broockle all you need to learn now is the word chela and your ready to rumble!
I am also studying in a german university because I had to learn french at school
@annafoldvari4783 I'm not sure that was better 😂
There's also "la prostate" wich is only found in males, and "un ovaire" wich is obly found in females... it's crazy when you think about it
Yeah like what’s the point of having masculine and feminine if you can just do whatever? Lol
@Maygan Phynix we didn't choose it lmao, it's how the language evolved from latin ! Maybe some centuries in the future french words won't have genders anymore
@Aurorya It evolved poorly!
Of course, this comes from someone who speaks a language in which tear and tear are pronounced differently... Climb and limb... Right, right write, rite, wright... Oh well.
I think the gender of a noun is probably just based on how nice it sounds and not actually if the thing is feminine or masculine
Saying that it’s only found in one gender is transphobic
Monsieur Vagin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
well, now I know how I will call my pet in the future
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would be a fun visit to the dog park
No no no no no no bad idea really baaaad idea😂 I mean imagine you go to France
-Oooh what a cute cat what’s it’s name?
-:)…Monsieur Vagin.
-WHAT
Purrfect name for a male cat 🐱- love it!
@Leila the Death Eater
She might have been referring to a "cat" though... 🤔
Un vagin et une verge ! Nous sommes trop forts les français 👍
Pour les amateurs de bon sens on peux aussi dire une chatte et peut être 5 ou 6 autres synonymes du bon sexe.
En fait chaque sexe a quelque 30 synonmes dont toujoirs un grand nombre au masculin et un autre grand nombre au feminin
Je ne comprends pas
Huh, the same thing happens in romanian but weirdly... o p*** și o p****
Yes, they are swear words
Whaaaaaaat 😮
And French strikes again 🤣🤣🤣
French saying he’ll make rules that make sense is like German saying they will make shorter words.
Oh no, he'll make rules that make sense.
Then he'll make exceptions to those rules, and then exceptions to the exceptions, and so on and so forth...
you mean Finnish
Hey, German has lots of nice short words! Look: zu, in, an, auf, bei, du, er, es, Kommunikationsüberwachungsgesetzgebung ... Very balanced language.
I know 6 languages (some just basics, some fluent) and I just *have* to give an example here.
The word egg.
English: Egg
French: œf
Turkish: yumurta
Japanese: tamago
German: Ei
German words aren't actually that long. The only thing is that you can just add words at the end of other words to make new words. Jokes are funny but this one gets old and also was never funny to begin with.

They're rarely invented new words, just combining the already existing ones.
"If you look at it, if you really look at it"😭😭
Tu m'as tué. Monsieur vagin 🤣🤣🤣
Romance languages: we agree with french, EVERYTHING IS GENDERED
Slavic languages: You called for us, comrade?
Indo-Aryan languages: my lost brothers!
Romanian in a corner: f it, let's do it! ヽ("ﾟｰﾟ")ﾉ
But the point was it's gendered wrong. Female parts are gendered masculine and male parts are gendered feminine
@Ela Explorer That's not "wrong". Grammatical gender has absolutely nothing to do with masculine or feminine anthropomorphic qualities. It just changes the way verbs and adjectives are used around that word. I guess it's something only people who speak a gendered language natively would understand; it's not at all weird for me because I grew up speaking Marathi.
"Monsieur Vagin" with the little mustache is toooooooooo hilarious 😂😂😂
I love French's personality!
In romanian girl's part is a masculine and boy's part is a feminine. Romance languages go brrrrrr
It makes sense. Men interact with the women parts, women interact with the men's. In a sense it shows that we work together or even belong to each other, not just ourselves.
...neutru ..poate😂
That's not what brrrr meme stands for XD
@Undomaranel no it doesn't make any sense 😅
Oh, is that the sound of me cancelling my entire day to make a little moustache for my nethers and then film a whole show where they solve crimes and then realise that I cannot post this show anywhere despite the fact it is a groundbreaking masterpiece because I will be instantly cancelled and then eating grated cheese direct from the bag to comfort myself?
Yes, that is the exact sound that is.
I guess i need to have a closer look🤣
I feel like we need to add German to this series 😂😂😂
Don’t look at us. It’s "die Vagina" and "der Penis" makes perfect sense in German!
@Jan Six Aaaand we got "der Uterus", "der Muttermund" and "der Vaginalkanal" 😂😂😂
@Larissa Judoka the article in german depends on the suffix
“Lets add some rules” -famous last words
Spanish awkwardly looks at water
Ah... I love this unbridled (some may say unhinged) joy on French.
I feel like Universal Language needs a relative named Esperanto
I have not had a belly laugh that deep in a long time. Pure genius!
"MAN WITH A MUSTACHE" I busted out laughing so loud they heard me in the other room and since it's females over there I can't even explain what I was laughing at.
Don't worry I'm sure they will find it funny
Why would you not be able to show this to women?
I would laugh with you 😂
This guy should be given Oscar. No kidding.
Big fan. Wish I would've thought of this concept... I'm also trilingual. Born in Montreal, from Salvadoran parents, moved to Texas 20 years ago. I love this!
I love the addition of that classic yellow school notebook
We had a conversation between female neighbours about this exact topic 😂
But I really had never heard of Mr???!!!!
I just learned that beard is feminine and I actually think it's really funny x'D
Il y a aussi " une b*te " pour les hommes 😂😂
Ça compte pas, on a tout un dictionnaire pour ça
@Lechat relou j'ai pas compris...
@REDHA BOUKALFA phallus, verge, etc ...
@Lechat relou tu porte bien ton pseudo toi😂😂😂, je met juste un commentaire pour rire et soutenir la vidéo et toi tu me dit que ça compte pas 😂
Welp, I *SURE* as heck didn't see *THAT* coming!
You are the only person on youtube who never fails to make me smile with your videos.
You could volunteer to portray Ukranian as a guest appearance.
I might need to take a second look at it
You're comedy genius, god bless you😅
I feel attacked rn 😂😂
I think u should do about Das Mädchen💀
As someone currently improving his French I can relate. 😂
I’d like to see you in the movie 😂 maybe comedy? 😂 keep up the good work.
Q for the Romance language native speakers: what are your thoughts when someone gets the gendering of something wrong? Does it just sound ‘wrong’/unnatural but you still know exactly what they’ve talking about & the conversation continues uninterrupted? Or does clarification normally happen before conversation continues? Or something else entirely? (I’m aware the answer might be different for different languages/words etc.)
idk why I specifically have a lil crush on French, it's all one guy 😭
“If you look at it, if you *really* look at it” 💀
As someone who moved to germany, learning german and also learning FRENCH from GERMAN i feel like crying
I will never unsee the moustache now thanks
He's gonna get in trouble for this one 🤣🤣🤣
Learned a new french word.😂
YES!!! Those nouns drives me crazy lololol
Who am I?
I'm Jean Vagiiiiiiiin!
French has basic rules to define gender (usually based on phonetics). But it’s way more fun to confuse the Americans.
Id never make it in france 😂😂 lol
Don't worry if you get the gender of a word wrong we'll kindly correct you. And then we'll spend half an hour laughing at you
I love these shorts! I wish you made more ❤
This guy teaches me french better than my french teacher
"A little man with a little mustache" really killed me 😂😂😂
As a great man said: theres a great evil coming, and that great evil are the damn french
As a french person, I am curious... who was telling that?😂
@kaki 31 Poppy the pirate in a TheRussianBadger tabg vid its verry funny everyone stream sniped him and acted french
The number of times I've mumbled, "Monsieur Vagin." To myself and giggled like a schoolboy is unacceptable and but also hysterical.
I'm a native spanish speaker so learning French has been making me aware of what non-spanish speakers go through when they wanna learn spanish lmao
Wheres the beret? 😢
I don't even speak French, I never even learnt it, but I just love how unhinged French is in these videos XD
And this is why I begged to switch to learning Spanish in school but nope, my parents looooove the French language so I had to stick with it. 😭
Pour le genre, sans déc j'ai juste l'impression que c'est juste "qu'est ce qui donne le mieux ?" Avec quelques exceptions des fois
Parce que c'est exactement ça, le seul but c'est que ce soit agréable à l'oreille.
C'est aussi une particularité des langues latines, il faut que les mots se suivent et s'enchaînent de manière fluide, le tout en restant mélodieux.

This reminds me of the "rolling the shovel" argument. I half expected him to go "OH YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE"
"You dont have enough rules for your pronouns"
French: "Impossible"
as a person who speaks Russian, Azerbaijani, English, knows ein bisschen German and now learns French I really suffer with these articles en français 😢
Gal başin ye
I love french sooo much
I was not expecting that. I was not expecting that! Great ending
One night he’s going down on his girlfriend, then stops and stares, thinking:
*”I should make a video about this…”*
I have found the name of my future cat and I hope my future French friends really appreciate it
😂😂 “a little man with a little mustache” has me cackling 🤣🤣 Never thought of it like that
Thanks God Spanish makes sense on that one at least.
There is nothing sacred for french 🤣
En español es igual de arbitrario la verdad xd
loool spanish is the same with this one XD
If Loic decided to learn Finish he would have comedy material for atleast 500 years 🤣💀
French is absolutely not the only language to have a masculine/feminine form for everything. Many others do as well.
Verge ends in e, which I believe is normally feminine grammatically, and vagin ends with an consent, which is grammatically masc. I am not french. However, just someone who took in school.
The e at the end of most word are not feminine grammatically relative in french. But most adjectif related to a feminin noun get a e at the end. So the only logical reason of why masculin or feminin is just that its sound better. No other rules sorry
you are correct, male parts are said in the feminine, and female parts, the masculine.
in a weird way, it kind of makes sense.. maybe not inclusive, but.. it does make sense.
i was just about to say *laughs in german native speaker* but actually... we actually do use the feminine article for this hahaha
My thoughts in high school when my family moved to Montreal without my consent 😑
French is that toddler you want to strangle....but know you can't 😂😂😂
Loïc you should seriously consider becoming a movie star. You’ll kill it.
"He's a hunter." "You call it a dude?"
In France it's perfectly all right to give your homies a good night kiss so I 100% understand calling it that
My French professor used to get really mad at us for mixing up our noun gender
I remember Emily crying about this... Good on French for doing that!
He teaches me more than my teacher can
This language 'quirk' is very interesting. I tried to do some quick research once before teaching a class of nine-year-olds, so I'd have an answer as to why clothes have 'genders'.

I actually laughed out loud for a while with this one!!!
The fact that so many languages have gendered nouns-
French posted a link to this on FML... It was paradoxically both 100% "I agree, your life sucks." and 100% "You deserved it."
you're really impressive, you always know how to keep fresh and interesting, great great job
As someone who is learning French it is actually getting really hard cuz of the feminine and masculine words
Only if there was such a thing as language police where we could conplain to 🥺
In Polish we also have gender for nouns but it's not random like for German and French. There are some rules but I honestly don't remember them, with practice you can just feel what gender a noun has.
German be like, little girl is not feminine but neutral.
Das Mädchen. 😂
One of these days, universal going to snap at French
Reminds me of something, by this logic, a snail's pronoun should always be "they" in english and "iel" in french 😂🐌
(the blob's too, but it's waaay more complicated lol 😂)
Spanish has some words like this too and it kills me 😅
Can’t stop thinking of Emily in Paris 😂
Knowing he is french makes it even funier for me.
Really appreciate your sense of humor, keep it up
I’m learning French right now. I learned that, and I thought “C'est très fou”.
In formal Spanish the names for female and male reproductive systems are gendered the same way, but most of the slang terms switch it, don't know why, I love it
... wow **intensive clapping** just wow
考え方が面白い。
英語のリスニングテストに採用したい。
Choked on my saliva, thank you.
You never failed to make me 😂😂😂
