ma petites canards
@candle mes petits canards
@sempervirenx daaaamn
@candle canard is masc so petit and then plural marks and determinant
@sempervirenx is there a name for nouns that support both genders?
@candle I think but can't remember anything (there's épicène but I think that's for first names only)
Maybe we should ask @Louvelune
@sempervirenx @candle That's funny, because 'épicène' in grammar means precisely this for nouns - and its opposite for animal names: one word, with one given gender, used to designate animals of both sexes.

There ARE a few words in French that can be of either gender, but very few (the only one that comes to mind is afternoon, un/une après-midi) - and most of them take on different meanings (un espace is 'a space', UNE espace is exclusively the typographic element) or different uses & nuances ("amour", love, can be made feminine but only in plural form, that's an artifact of poetry...)
@Louvelune @candle @sempervirenx wait for the typographic element it's UNE espace???
@Hiraelle @sempervirenx @candle YES. YES IT IS.
@Hiraelle @sempervirenx @candle @Louvelune Yes it is.
