French is a Romance language, which means that it is derived from Latin. Genders are a basic part of all Romance languages as they are for many other languages, as for instance German. You can trace that even in English, when you are using "she" for a boat.
French nouns and adjectives have gender because the language has evolved with Latin roots, which also had gender distinctions. Gender in French is not always based on biological sex but rather on linguistic conventions. It serves to indicate agreement between nouns, adjectives, and articles in a sentence.
To say "the" in French, you would use "le" for masculine nouns, "la" for feminine nouns, and "les" for plural nouns regardless of gender.
all words except for proper nouns have a gender in french such as ( une file, or un garcon) but once you get into regular nouns there is no technical reason for its gender such as (une salad: salad, or un porte: door)
The French verb "cantiner" is not inherently feminine or masculine as verbs in French do not have gender. The gender distinction is typically associated with nouns and adjectives in the French language.
In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns to refer to gender. Gender nouns are words specifically for a male, a female, a noun that can be either a male or a female, and something that has no gender.Examples of nouns that are specifically male gender:manmalefathersonbrotherunclekingganderbullstallioncocktomExamples of nouns that are specifically female gender:womanfemalemotherdaughtersisterniecequeenjennycowmarehenExamples of nouns that can be a male or a female, common gender nouns:parentrelativefriendneighbormayordoctormanagerteacherpoliticianscientistExamples of nouns for things that have no gender, neuter nouns:countryrivercityoceanhouserockwirecarhamburgerhouse

In English, the word "trampoline" is gender-neutral, as English nouns do not have grammatical gender. However, in languages with gendered nouns, such as French or Spanish, "trampoline" may be assigned a gender. For example, in French, it's feminine ("la trampoline"). In Spanish, it's masculine ("el trampolín").
ma (+ feminine noun), mon (+ masculine noun), mes (+ plural nouns of any gender)
