    I’m sorry, French here, but a chair can be both. It depends of the type : Une chaise is obviously feminine while un siège or un fauteuil are definitely masculin. Also Germanic language like English and German mixing these two meaning are silly languages.

      Why. Just why? It’s just you French and your obsession for…

      Fuck.

        I think we just spotted a cultural fracture btw people of Romance language and the one of Germanic language.
