1. Grammatical gender

Spanish, there are two grammatical
genders.
• It is important to distinguish whether a
word is masculine is feminine or
masculine.

2. Masculine
• In General, masculine nouns start with a vowel
(a, i, u) and end with any letter.
• For example:
Argaz=man
Amcic=cat
Aqcic=boy
Ism=name

3. Feminine
• In General, feminine nouns begin and end with
the letter t
• For example:
Targazt=woman
Tamcict= female cat
