English is barely gendered. In Slavic languages, as someone said, verbs are conjugated differently based on gender. In Serbian for instance, to say “I saw him”, you would say “Video sam ga” if you were a man, and “Videla sam ga” if you were a woman. In Arabic I think even more things vary based on gender, like “to you” has different forms based on whether “you” are a man or a woman. It might not be specifically that, but I distinctly recall Arabic using gender-based forms for something that Slavic languages don’t.
And uses some of those words for “the” to be different versions of different genders in different cases.
Der nominative male, der Dativ female.
But call also be “that” or “which” or “who” depending on context.
Not to mention declension of adjectives.
Different declination for all three genders plus plural, plus differences for negation, no article, definite article, indefinite article all in in nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, version
If Excel spreadsheets for different versions of “the” turn you on, then German is your language.

Hell, German has three genders. “The” is translated der, die or das depending on the noun
Three genders, and 5 words for “the”: der, die, das, dem, den. Depending on the gender of the noun and its function in the sentence.
You forgot “des”
Serves me right for trying to show off :D

Yeah, I meant 3 words for the nominative case but your answer is more exact
Yeah Arabic is pretty gendered
