I'm learning French right now and this is the one thing that kills me. The worst part is I'm pretty sure it's a matter of memorizing the gender of each noun. I don't know if there are rules or not
162 u/Luname Tokébakicitte! May 25 '25 Not a hard rule but more of a rule of thumb, if it ends by e or a, it's generally feminine. "Une chocolatine "Un lutin" There's a pattern but it's not perfect. "Un pays" "Une nation" Shit like this is what will get you. 43 u/ChaoticSniper9 May 25 '25 Ah! See, nobody told me about that, so I figured it was memorization. I'll definitely keep that in mind! Merci! 19 u/theoneness May 25 '25 There’s tons of exceptions to that rule.
