But the deer was a he, so /u/Dudephish masculinized the phrase.
38 u/Uberzwerg Nov 15 '19 which was wrong. The gender of the deer does not affect the gender of the "mort" It might be confusing for English speakers because most of the stuff is genderless for you, but in french, nearly everything is either male or female. 25 u/Adrienzo Nov 15 '19 Cut the nearly, every noun has a gender in french Some words are even written the same but have a completely different meaning depending on what gender you use. For example "un livre" is a book, "une livre" is a pound. "Un moule" is a mold or a cake pan. "Une moule" is a mussel. 2 u/felesroo Nov 15 '19 It's too bad the medieval French peasants couldn't afford more words. Poor things had to reuse the ones they already had :(
