Flaming hot is my addition but its kinda remarkably fitting : )

We got neutral genders in Slovak as well.
For example
- Tá žena (that (she) woman)
- To dievča (that (it) girl)
- Ten chlap (that (he) man)
It all depends on how the word sounds and changes when you say it in different ways (skloňovanie / bending the word).
And we also got 4 patterns for each gender based on which how the word changes so you get over 20 combinations on how to say word in each gender.
