I like when the gender changes what the noun is. Here are a couple Spanish examples: la cometa = the kite (feminine) or el cometa = the comet (masculine) la papa = the potato (feminine) or el papa = the Pope (masculine).

Swahili has 18 genders, though only 16 are in active use.

    Don’t let seeking perfect, or even good, be the thing that stops you. If you get your meaning over the net in another language, you’re speaking it. Not well, but you’re speaking it. Then it’s all about getting better. Enjoy the little wins and try to learn from the losses.

    Velociraptor = positionraptor/time. As written the raptor cancels and you get a scalar not a vector, simply speed.

    Edit, there is no operator before the raptor so probably best not to cancel.

    Scalar: speedraptor = distanceraptor/ timeraptor

    Vector: velociraptor = positionraptor/ timeraptor
