el

In Spanish, choose the correct adjective form: "La casa es ____ (blanco)."
blancos
blancas

Fill in the blank with the correct form of "interesante": "Los libros son _____."
interesante
interesantes
interesanta

In the accusative case for a masculine noun after the indefinite article, the weak ending "-en" is used. Hence "großen Hund."
In Russian, which is the correct form for "beautiful lake"?
краѝивые озеро
краѝивое озеро
краѝиваѝ озеро

alt
alte
alten
alter
With the definite article in nominative plural, German uses the weak declension ending "-en." Therefore "die alten Städte."

Identify the masculine noun among these German words ending in -e.
der Name
die Blume
die Lampe
die Straße
Although most German nouns ending in -e are feminine, "Name" is an exception and is masculine, taking the article "der." The others are all feminine.
In Spanish, which article and noun combination means "forehead"?

Cheat Sheet

  1. Grammatical gender system - In many languages, every noun gets a "gender label" (masculine, feminine or neuter) that dictates how articles, adjectives and pronouns must match up. Think of it as a grammar-themed costume party where every word needs the perfect outfit! Agreement (linguistics)
  2. Noun-adjective agreement - Adjectives in gendered languages must agree with the nouns they describe in both gender and number, keeping your sentences neat and clear. For example, Spanish speakers say "libro interesante" for one book, but "libros interesantes" for many! Noun-Adjective Agreement in Spanish
  3. How genders get assigned - Some languages base noun gender on biological sex or word endings, while others use completely arbitrary rules. Spanish nouns ending in "-o" are usually masculine and "-a" usually feminine - but watch out for tricksters like "la mano"! Grammatical gender in Spanish
  4. Genderless languages - Languages like Turkish skip grammatical gender altogether, meaning nouns and adjectives stay the same whether you're talking about a king or a queen. It's like a grammar shortcut - no matching needed, although you'll need other ways to show actual gender when it matters. Turkish language
  5. Diversity across languages - While most Indo-European tongues embrace gendered nouns, English has mostly ditched that system and keeps it alive mainly in pronouns. This variety makes language learning a thrilling adventure, so always check the grammar rules of each new language you study! Grammatical gender
  6. Neuter gender category - Some languages, like German and Romanian, add a neutral option alongside masculine and feminine. That extra category means even more agreement rules to master, so consider it a fun brain teaser for your inner linguist! Gender in Languages Across the World
  7. Verb agreement with gender - In languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, verbs actually change form to match the subject's gender. It's another layer of agreement that keeps sentences lively - and keeps your verb conjugation skills on their toes! Gender in Languages Across the World
  8. Noun classes beyond gender - Some Bantu languages use multiple noun classes instead of simple masculine/feminine tags, with each class impacting how adjectives and verbs agree. It's like playing a puzzle game where each noun belongs to a special team with its own rules! Which non-Indo-European languages have noun-adjective agreement?
  9. Memorizing exceptions - Grammar rules have plenty of rebels - like Spanish "la mano," which is feminine despite ending in "-o." Spotting and memorizing these oddballs is key to sounding like a native speaker! Grammatical gender in Spanish
  10. Practice makes perfect - Mastering gender systems is all about consistent exposure and repetition, whether reading, writing or chatting with native speakers. The more you play with articles, adjectives and pronouns, the faster these rules become second nature! Noun-Adjective Agreement in Spanish
