Etymology[edit]

Considering that sweetheart long predates sweetard in English books, I highly doubt the former comes from the latter.

Russian[edit]

How can someone's sweetheart be neutral? Ferike333 14:35, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Do you mean Macedonian? In some languages, the gender of a noun can be dependent on the word form, not necessarily the natural gender of the referent. For instance, -chen in German is always neuter: das Mädchen. —Stephen 11:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, you're right, I mean Macedonian but I thought it was Russian. Shame... Ferike333 17:57, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
