Why do some languages use gendered nouns? It seems to just add more complexity for no benefit.

        I agree that German is concise. I just don’t see what the gendered nouns are contributing to that quality or any other one.

          Who said anything about gendered nouns? The question was about greater complexity making things easier.
          In my eyes, the German language achieves that.

                  Why would I care about context? Comment had a question, I had an answer. Problem solved.
                  Context is unimportant.
