Italian Grammar #4 - Nouns and Genders. Endings with -o, -a and -e!

Ciao!

In this episode we'll look at the two genders for Italian nouns, and the three different endings "o", "a" and "e".

:)

..

In general, "o" is for masculine and "-a" is for feminine:

il libro

il ragazzo

la casa

la chitarra

If a noun ends on "-e", it could be either feminine or masculine:

il fiume

il nome

la notte

la luce

And some nouns on "-e" depends on the gender of the person it describes, for example:

il cliente or la cliente = the customer/client

il parente or la parente = the relative

and you can guess for "cantante" - meaning singer!


So now you know how to find the gender of a noun, and when to look it up (most of the "-e" nouns).

Excellent work!

😊
