      In German I can think of at least one pair of words where the grammatical gender changes the meaning: “Die See” (f): The sea; „der See” (m): The lake. Do you have something like this in Spanish?

        I think so. I can think right now of El Radio, which means the radioactive component, and La Radio, the divide in your car that allows you to listen to music.

    Most languages don’t even have gendered pronouns. In Finnish, you can say hän for he, she, or singular they; in Turkish it is o, in Hawaiian it is ia, in Mongolian it is тэр.
