Nifts & neves
Niece and nephew aren't the original English words for children of your brothers and sisters. The original words were nift and neve, cognates of German Nichte and Neffe. Niece and nephew were borrowed from Old French and gradually supplanted nift and neve, until these became obsolete. The French words have the same Proto-Indo-European ancestors as Nichte and Neffe, so they're cognates, but very distant ones. Click the graphic to learn more.

i want to call out dutch for the most stupid gender collapse in a germanic language.
their ancestors had three neat semantic gender categories (masculine, feminine, neuter). instead of collapsing them into two as 'boys n girls', like a normal romance language -by dropping the neuter- they collapsed masc + fem into 'common gender'.
so now it's more like, 'de' v 'het', animate/inanimate, only many inanimates (objects) are also common gender.
omg. the epicenity. the audacity.
I’ve figured out that the key to understanding grammatical gender is to not categorize it as gender in your head.
Gender is a stupid name for it. It’s just arbitrary categories one, two, and/or three.

in the Dutch version with Tecna's lines: uhm Bloom, there is a little activity to be seen, the floodgates have opened so to speak. the Dutch version is so similair to the English one but after Bloom rolled her eyes Tecna said the line like: what? okay for lame pun! why does some languages say different things? not gonna lie i prefer the italian lines over the Dutch and the English versions
This scene is completely different in Italian dub, what do you think? (s2,ep18)

He told me I should take it in, listen to every word he's speaking, the wires getting older, I can hear the way they're creaking as they're holding him, well I can see it in his jaw, that all he ever wanted was a job, he tells me to be raw, admits to every little flaw that never let him sit upon the top, won't tell me to stop, thinks that I should be a little cautious, but I can tell the wires pulled
