That picture is so interesting that Iĺl share it with my students, so that theyĺl see the differences between cultures.
By the way, In Brazil fork is masculine and spoon is feminine.

In Greek they are neither feminine nor masculine. They are neutral (το κουτάλι, το πηρούνι). |

Isn �t it really weird that things have a gender? I learned French, Italian, Spanish and now I �m trying Slovakian. Oh, what I would give to learn a language with no gender. A really straightforward language like English, for example....
I �m going to use the picture in my French lesson tomorrow, though. Hope I can copy it.
