To nobody's surprise ніж, світ, жаба have exactly right genders so it's Germans who are confused.


But, for some weird reason, modern Bulgarian mutated gender of "evening" to feminine:

Тази вечер

even though in the greeting "good evening", the old masculine form remains:

добър вечер

Bulgarian in general seems to be the Chad of the Slavic language family :)
