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 ‘castle’, kufr ‘suitcase’, vlak ‘train’, stroj ‘machine’, čaj ‘tea’ [Some ending in a ‘soft’ or ‘ambivalent’ consonant are feminine, e.g. píseň ‘song’, tramvaj ‘tram’

Feminine in Czech[edit | edit source]

  • Most nouns ending in -a, -e or the suffix -ost meaning ‘-ness’, e.g. voda ‘water’, lekce ‘lesson’, radost ‘joy, happiness’ [A few ending in -e are neuter, e.g. moře ‘sea’, pole ‘field’

Neuter in Czech[edit | edit source]

  • Most nouns ending in -o or -í, e.g. město ‘town’, auto ‘car’, stavení ‘building’, náměstí ‘square’
