Inadvertently All About Gender
from New Yankee Wordshop · host Monica and Luiz
Hey! We remembered to answer listener questions! Roz wanted to know, "As a woman, should I say 'Obrigado' or 'Obrigada'?", Dee has an excellent question about gendered languages and gender-neutrality (which we may have half answered?). We discuss various Minas accents, who thinks that bus belongs to them, why is "Colonel" spelled that way in the first place, Presidente/Presidenta and Sir/Ma'am (and SHOULD she be offended?), and the widow/widower theory [Luiz Castro, TM]. Did you play Clue as a kid? If so, you may enjoy this episode! If you have a question, hit us up on our Facebook Group: New Yankee Wordshop Podcast. Or, head on over to anchor.com and leave us a message via our handy-dandy "message" button that lets YOU record! One day, I shall learn how to make this a live link. Until then, copy and paste, won't you? Beijos! https://anchor.fm/new-yankee-wordshop
