Also, in Spanish: "soy casada" (I'm married, permanent form of "to be") "estoy muerto" (I'm dead, temporary form of "to be") I'm over simplifying, but the point is that language is a) super cool and b) not a basis for gender essentialism

In Hebrew, the plural form for "fathers" has a feminine plural suffix. The basic rules for plurals is that feminine plural nouns end in -ot and masculine in -im, but "fathers" is "avot."

In Italian you literally would say 'I have thirty years'. You have to keep them in a box.

It's probably a contraction; in past centuries one would say 'I have thirty years in my little yearbox'
