A pretty reliable rule of thumb for determining the gender of nouns other than human masculine animates, is as follows:
Masculine in Czech[edit | edit source]
- Most nouns ending in a consonant, e.g. hrad âcastleâ, kufr âsuitcaseâ, vlak âtrainâ, stroj âmachineâ, Äaj âteaâ [Some ending in a âsoftâ or âambivalentâ consonant are feminine, e.g. pĂseĹ âsongâ, tramvaj âtramâ
Feminine in Czech[edit | edit source]
- Most nouns ending in -a, -e or the suffix -ost meaning â-nessâ, e.g. voda âwaterâ, lekce âlessonâ, radost âjoy, happinessâ [A few ending in -e are neuter, e.g. moĹe âseaâ, pole âfieldâ
Neuter in Czech[edit | edit source]
- Most nouns ending in -o or -Ă, e.g. mÄsto âtownâ, auto âcarâ, stavenĂ âbuildingâ, nĂĄmÄstĂ âsquareâ
