Standard Arabic Grammar - Gender

Hi Standard Arabic learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the gender rules in Standard Arabic. We will look at the different rules for nouns, adjectives and verbs. We will also look at some examples and practice using the rules. Finally, we will have a quiz to test your understanding.

Rules

In Standard Arabic, nouns, adjectives and verbs have gender. This means that they can be either masculine or feminine. The gender of a word affects the way it is used in a sentence.

Nouns: Nouns in Standard Arabic are either masculine or feminine. The gender of a noun is usually determined by its ending. Masculine nouns usually end in a consonant, while feminine nouns usually end in a vowel.

Adjectives: Adjectives in Standard Arabic must agree with the gender of the noun they are describing. This means that if the noun is masculine, the adjective must also be masculine, and if the noun is feminine, the adjective must also be feminine.

Verbs: Verbs in Standard Arabic must also agree with the gender of the subject. This means that if the subject is masculine, the verb must also be masculine, and if the subject is feminine, the verb must also be feminine.

Examples

Here are some examples of nouns, adjectives and verbs in Standard Arabic.
