The gender-specific article is usually not used for the neuter ones.

What do you mean with feminine and masculine gender name?

Now it's impossible to explain the ethimology.
Maybe it was because the Italians brought to us by one of our queens had extensive body hair.
Maybe it was some proto-slavic-proto-germanic word transformation from wahlen -> wohlen -> wolowie -> wolosi -> włosi
Generally similar etymology to Wallachians

Besides it's our special snowflake. Generally you're Italy, Italia, Italie etc. and then you see "Włochy" xD

>>53348263
why
>>
>>53349162
I understand that, I mean for us the chair is a "she" but the computer is a "he", but I don't see why my language is a Feminine gender language
>>
>>53355470
You don't get it. The thread is about the gender of countries, not languages.
"Brazilia" is female because it ends with -a.
>>
>>53355470
Are you dumb? Just stop posting.
