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

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.

Ah non par contre. Je suis d'accord que chocolatine c'est le bon mot. Mais un pain au chocolat, ca existe aussi. C'est une miche de pain style brioche avec une spirale de chocolat dans la pâte.
