6 - Masculine and Feminine Words

المُذكّر و المُؤنّث

What do we know about feminine and masculine words?

  • All adjectives and nouns carry a gender
  • Proper nouns like سكرتيرة and مها take the obvious gender
  • There is no word for “it” in Arabic
  • ة almost always indicates femininity of a word
  • Nouns and adjectives must agree in gender
