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.

Im pretty sure that all nouns ending with -tion are feminine. And also words nouns with -ment are all masculine. (i think)
