    Computer is masculine in French, if anyone wanted to know, but then sometimes we call it a machine, which is feminine.

      Computer is only male in portuguese too (we don’t ever call them machine), but appears to be only female in spanish.

      I think that this could be well represented with a venn diagram.

          Huh, just searched it up and it is in the dictionary. I’d just never heard anyone call it that. That’s on me for not verifying it, whoops
