| Hello,
This is my 5th month in Vaud canton and 3rd since I started taking French lessons. All is well but there is one thing I can't get my head around about French: Gender of nouns. Why should any noun, table, chair, car, pen, door, etc, etc have a gender? Which purpose can it possibly serve?
Slightest insight is welcome.
Best regards

i think one of the reasons may be, that gender or noun classes makes it much easier to avoid to repeatedly mentioning the same things by their proper terms, but by refer to them by pronouns.
