In Romanian, the nouns have gender, but also there's a bearess and a bear, a lioness and a lion etc.

interesting... so is there a preferred gender for an animal? in albanian cat is "mac," which is a masculine noun. male cats are also called mac, of course. but female cats are called "dac" though.
same for you guys?

Here it depends... you can't "know" what gender it will be. Usually, whatever finishes in "a" is a female. For example, "pisica" (cat).

But you can't know. "Urs" = bear, and it's masculine. "Leu" = lion, the same. So... in English it's much easier.

For "urs" you get "ursoaica" as the female bear, for "leu" you get "leoaica" as the lioness etc.

raptor, i love that for your example of how english is easier because we don't gender nouns as much, you used a noun where english differentiates by gender! lion/lioness. we don't for cats.

I have to post this (feel free to fill it up with negs) because I only watched 10 seconds of it rushing around scrolling through it, then closed it, then went in my bed pretending to want to watch an NBA game, then 30 seconds later rolled around in my bed crying like crazy for a long time. One of the most horrible videos I have seen, it absolutely hit me straight into my soul.
