NHibernate is not it's own noun in hebrew (like "french armchair" isn't). What you do if find the closest family member that reffers to the same object and take the f/m inclination from it. "french armchair" is male because "chair" is male. NHibernate is female becuase "Framework" is female. http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment6http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment6Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:08:52 GMTDarius Damalakas commented on NHibernate is femaleIt would be male in lithuanian, but that's very very vague. You can't just make "NHibernate" sound like a true lithuanian word, and mostly all "odd" words go into male http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment5http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment5Mon, 10 Sep 2007 10:32:08 GMTjohan andries commented on NHibernate is femalefrom http://www.brucespringsteen.net/songs/MaryQueenOfArkansas.html: "You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing" In Dutch it would also be neutral. http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment4http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment4Mon, 10 Sep 2007 06:26:22 GMTjmajaranta commented on NHibernate is femaleNHibernate does not have enough moustache to be a female in german ;) I have a strong language feeling that NHibernate would be a neuter in german (das / es). (german is not my mothertongue, but I was speaking it everyday for a while). http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment3http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment3Mon, 10 Sep 2007 03:58:08 GMTPedro Teixeira commented on NHibernate is femalemale in in portuguese too :p But I guess it would be female in german. http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment2http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment2Sun, 09 Sep 2007 23:52:00 GMTEber Irigoyen commented on NHibernate is female it would be male in spanish http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment1http://ayende.com/2762/nhibernate-is-female#comment1Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:18:45 GMT
