In French, as you know, everything has a gender, not only people but things… and it’s one of the difficulties.
I was reflecting about cars… and I started to laugh…
La voiture – the car – is feminine.
So are la berline – the sedan –
and la limousine – the limousine.
But now, look, we have
le break – the station wagon –
and le 4×4 (you say quatre-quatre) – the 4WD
and le SUV – the SUV –
and le camion – the truck
Weird, hey ?
