Spanish enters the room: words have gender, but there are special cases where the definite article switches gender.

"El hacha roja/Las hachas rojas", "El agua fría/Las aguas frías"

Also, some words may have both genders:

"El computador/La computadora"

English is incredibly easy. My mother tongue is Russian and I'm learning German, both have genders... which are quite often different. That makes things even harder :D

oh, that's so easy! It's both, depending how you translate it: une machine à laver or un lave-linge.

If it ends with an 'e' it's probably feminine. Moustache is feminine. There's a handful of exceptions that are easy to remember

So moustaches are feminine?

Romance fans will tell you the French language is the adoration of beauty.
The British will tell you that the french taste for beauty is the same as their taste for cheese: it stinks.

do you trust the British though?

It's neuter in greek, even though "machine" is feminine, cause the greek word is like "washer" instead of "washing machine". Although I think you have better things to ponder about when writing greek.

The only way to know for sure is to ask the washing machine how it identifies

Me as a German wondering if it's the same or different than in my language.
