Yes, that’s the point. You need to memorize which words go with la and which with le. Or der/die/das for German. Or no articles for Slavic languages but the declination and other words in the sentence (selection of pronouns, forms of adjectives and sometimes verbs) depend on the gender.
Doesn’t French have ‘la’ and ‘le’ as well?

Thanks, it flew miles over my head.
It’s machina lavatoria in latin and obviously femal for your grammar.
This easy trick to learn French, learn Latin first :-) !
