Also, while I am on the subject of things French - what would be the implications of saying Le instead of La (by mistake) and vice versa - how would it be percieved? is there an anology in English? |
Never got the hang of what was male and female in the French language as we only have the and it (except cars, boats and planes all female I understand).
