our nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter
the masculine gender further splits into masculine-personal (for people), masculine-animate (for animals) and masculine-inanimate (for objects)
in the plural form most of these distinctions are lost and you end up with only two groups: masculine-personal (męskoosobowy) and non-masculine-personal (niemęskoosobowy; it used to be also called żeńsko-rzeczowy = feminine-thinglike) aka everything else
Polish nouns literally imply there are only two kinds of things in the universe: human males and the rest (females, animals, objects)
sounds pretty to me
