Understanding Gender of Nouns in Македонски
In the Macedonian language, nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. This means that every noun, which is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea, belongs to one of these three groups. Knowing the gender of a noun is important because it helps us use the right words with it, like adjectives and verbs.
Important Points
  • Masculine nouns usually end in a consonant.
  • Feminine nouns often end in 'а' or 'е'.
  • Neuter nouns typically end in 'о' or 'е'.
  • Some nouns can be both masculine and feminine, depending on context.
  • There are exceptions to these rules, so it's important to learn and remember them.
Let's look at some examples to understand how this works. Pay attention to the endings of these nouns to see how their gender is determined.
Examples
  • Книгата е интересна. (Feminine noun)
  • Момчето е високо. (Neuter noun)
  • Мачорот е голем. (Masculine noun)
As you can see, the adjectives used with the nouns change depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter. This is why knowing the gender is so important in Macedonian.
