    fora

    This morning I just thought of something.
    At the top of the home page it says , forums
    but isn't the plural of forum : fora?
    24/02/2008: my first drive in a corrado 16, life is finally going somewhere...
    1/07/2008: first drive in a corrado vr6, life peaks here

    Because it ends with an E. Almost all words that end with an E are female in French. If you learn that rule it is much easier. Pay attention in class

    Better yet, a car is female in french
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

    I was actually thinking about "la voiture", but you're right "l'automobile" too
    But hey, you'd think that "a girl" should be feminine, yet in German it's neutral!

    But it gets weird when the word for the female reproductive organ - is masculine in French.
