Is Google Translate Chauvenistic?

I don’t see how the examples you cite can be either masculine or feminine, using “I”.

I know how to drive. Je sais conduire la voiture.

I don’t know how to drive. Je ne sais pas conduire la voiture .

Je peux conduire.

Je ne peux pas conduire.

Visit France and see how woman drive

@Hawkeye: I am woman. Woman take issue with your answer. This woman is good driver.

@gailcalled Fair enough.

I WROTE: But if you type in English “I drive my car” it will translate it in masculine – only.

@gailcalled I drive my car. אני נוהג במכונית שלי and not *אני נוהג*ת

You misquoted my detail question to show off your French – it has to do with another sentence and Hebrew. Bad form.

No, and I hope Google is bringing back the Golden 50s and early 60s. Quite frankly, I am tired of all the “political correctness crap” these days. We need to define men from women, women from men, masculine and feminine. Sorry, but that’s my opinion.

^ Hear, hear! Duck!

@MRSHINYSHOES

Yeah, back when women stayed in the kitchen: where they belong. Man, I miss those days…

Barefoot and pregnant.

I hear a banjo playing…

You mean that “I” has gender in Hebrew? Wicked.

You put the “I” in wicked, @bob_
;-)

@Bob defined the concept, for which I am grateful.

In English and the romance languages, German, Dutch, Romanian (and perhaps ones that I am not familiar with) “I” is gender-neutral. The idea of gender-bias for “I” is a new one for me and an interesting one.

@zen_ “Hebrew, like French”...French has gender for nouns and adjectives but not for the first and second person subject pronouns. DId you meant to limit your examples to only Hebrew? Not clear.^^

^ Yeah man, what the hell? * shakes head disapprovingly *

Yeah, woman sounds odd.

Especially if addressing @zen_

The _ boys.

@DominicX You miss those days too? I thought I was the only one.

@zen_ So what did you think of that avatar suggestion I sent you?

—I don’t recall… there was a link to a bob one like yours…

Yeah, but with that dorky Star Trek uniform.

PM it again, pls.
