        Yeah, some Catalan politicians say “els ciutadans i les ciutadanes”, much like some Spanish politicians say “los ciudadanos y las ciudadanas”. Romance languages tend to have gendered nouns (and by extension articles). 🤷‍♂️

        Tsk, tsk, this willow wants to get rid of THE definite article, but they’re too afraid to even say it.
