Akhi Paul, please do not get upset or angry over such nonsense. I gave already examples from German to back up your case but it seems to be ignored.

In German, the word "cat", katze, is feminine. It therefore uses the "feminine the" which is die (die, der, der, die - das, des, dem, den etc). The subject itself is not feminine. The word is not gramtically feminine because all cats are female or because female women may prefer cats. it is grammatically feminine because of the structure of the word. As a general rule, in German, if a word ends in "e", it is feminine. This doesn't mean that the subject is feminine. You can still have male cats.

Same goes for lemonade, li-mo-na-de, which is totally neutral (and enjoyed by all genders) but is considered to be a feminine word grammatically.


Again "die katze" does not refer to "she the cat" or "the she cat", it can refer to a male or a female cat.
