if you thought that French was hard because everything is gendered
Itās my pleasure to tell you that the word amour, for love, is masculine when itās singular and feminine when itās plural.
Itās legit folks ā¦. itās legit Ć²;
It is not the only one!
Un vrai dƩlice [masculine] BUT de pures dƩlices [feminine]
Un grand orgue [masculine] BUT des grandes orgues [feminine]
And it goes without mentioning all the words that are both masculine and feminine but with different meaning (ex: le mousse = a shipās apprentice but la mousseĀ = foam)
un livre = a book une livre = a pound
le tƩlƩvision = television set la tƩlƩvision = television as a medium
Hi! Just fyi, itās true BUT: amour, dĆ©lice and orgue are the only three to change gender when plural (and amour is the only common one). Also, orgue is feminine if talking about only one instrument (āles grandes orgues de Notre-Dame,ā but masculine if talking about several instruments (āun facteurāmakerād'orguesā > masc.)
Sorry on behalf of the french language??
More words change meanings when they change gender. The list includes: - aide - cache - chĆØvre - critique - enseigne - faune - faux - garde - greffe - manche - mort - Åuvre - page - plastique - poche - poste - rose - secrĆ©taire - solde - tour - vague - vase - voile
But NOT tĆ©lĆ©vision, which is always feminine. (Sorry, I hope you donāt mind the correction.)
Happy studying! :)
