A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
It would be like in English if someone says the "I took the fono to the storage but he didn't have batterons for it" when you mean "I took the phone to the store but he didn't have batteries for it" Without the correct-gendered article it sounds wrong, and sometimes it changes the meaning so it's a different word. But, if there's enough context often you can figure out what someone is trying to say. But, if you're the kind of foreigner who doesn't know the genders for common things, you also probably have a very strong accent and are making all kinds of other errors, like using the wrong articles, getting the word order wrong, etc.
In the end, a lot of it is about context and how else you're trying to communicate. Like, if you're holding the phone and say "fono" it will be obvious what you mean. If someone knows you were trying to get a replacement battery, then there will be enough context to understand batterons.
