TOPIC 8: Gender and adjectives
All Russian nouns (things) have a gender.
Russian has 3 genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
- Most masculine nouns end in a consonant, «-й» or the soft sign «-ь»
- Most feminine nouns end in «-а» or «-я». And occasionally with the soft sign «-ь».
- Most neuter nouns end in «-о» or «-е».
The form of the adjective must agree the gender of the noun it modifies.
- Typically a masculine adjective ends in «-ый» or «-ой»
- Typically a feminine adjective ends in «-ая»
- Typically a neuter adjective ends in «-ое»
