Thank you for. the clarification., I was about to post same. Americans are not familiar with the gender thing. Oh and I am lucky to have various basils at local garden center. You must visit Los Angeles ;)

 

I wish to visit California again soon. So many years without visiting! Genders are hard, immagine that in Italian to confuse more people “lo” and “il” are both masculine definite articles, you use one or the other depending on the initial letters of the noun. An there are words like egg, for example that are masculine when singular and become feminine in the plural 🤣 (l’uovo singular is le uova plural). My husband keep saying how much easier Chinese grammar is.
