[Facts] Etienne/Etien?
I took French for three years, but I don't understand why Etienne is considered male. According to the setup of the French language, shouldn't Etienne be female and Etien be male? ____________________________________________________________"'Chevrolet,' answered Ramona. 'I named her after my aunt's car.'
The class began to laugh, especially the boys. Ramona felt confused, standing there in front of twenty-eight boys and girls who were all laughing at her."
