    Oh no it doesn’t!

    In Swedish you can figure out the gender of a new word because the phrase hints at what it is. In french there is no such luxury, and even worse, it’s a Bel (sounds like belle which is feminine) avion not a beau(masc.) avion even if avion is masculine…

    Lots of french people don’t know the gender of the ocean and other voyel starting words because of that.
