Spanish gender question?
I started Spanish 1 in high school a few weeks ago, and since then we have learned a few basic greeting and other stuff. I discovered a gender indifference in buenos dias, buenas tardes, and buenas noches. I asked my mom about it last night, and she said her college teacher had a good answer, but she couldn't remember it. I then asked my teacher today, and she just said it was just another Spanish exception and that we will come across more later. She didn't provide a reason like my mom's teacher did. So what is the reason?

It's just a part of the language o is male and a is female if i remember correctly. I only had spanish for half a year so I can't remember most of it. But it's like german and their die/der/des.

i don't know if i undersant but i think that you have to say why we use gender in the things?
for us, night is "she" and day is "he"
"el dia"
"la noche"
for you, things dont have gender, but for us they have.
" la mesa " "the table" (she)
la silla (the chair) (she)
el reloj (the clock) (he)
el espejo "the mirror" (he)
sorry for my bad english :(
