In Serbian, for example, "I was here".
...will disclose the gender in both cases, obviously. I'll admit that you'd need a rather clumsy expression to avoid that (I guess that something along the lines of "I spent [the last weekend] here" should do)
Not as I understand it; as soon as you need a past tense, you're out of luck, since you're either going to use -l or -la depending on your gender (in Russian; the endings are slightly different in other Slavic languages, e.g. I believe Serbian has -o and -la).
