GENDER of Nouns | Russian Language

what's up guys how's it going welcome to this channel where i help people speak Russian today we're going to talk about gender of the noun today I'm going to show you how to tell a gender of a noun because every single object every single noun has a gender in Russian that might be a little confusing because in English it's not the case but in Russian it is and a lot of things are going to depend on the gender of the noun such as the endings of adjectives for example so it's a very easy topic and it's very easy to tell what gender it is let's start with masculine masculine nouns almost always like 95% are going to end on a continent a continent Blair for example soul soul is a table so we can sit within CL at the end and L is a consonant that's what soul is masculine they let us take an example of pol pol is floor floor is full and we see that it ends on L and it's L in the consonant and that means that pole is masculine let's take another example without L at the end for example Killa form telephone is a phone and it ends on a consonant Edna and that means the telephone is going to be masculine okay I hope that that is clear let's move on to feminine now feminine in 95% a word that ends on a letter I or some dances yeah but mostly up nice fat person is going to be a is going to be same in it for example Tina Tina is a wall and it ends on us and it's feminist still not till now then let's take an example of guitarra guitarra and zohar engine and letter R and guitarist go to be feminine because of that masculine consonant feminine ah okay but we also have a third gender which is news agenda and news agenda we can tell if the work is a Nita gender if it has done either or or year layers or here for example ignore ignore it's a window okay and we see that it ends on all that that means that a clause is going to be new user gender but it's not the only later we also have a letter yeah if it ends of letter year like for example in the word Moria what it means see more you end on here and that means that is going to be neuter gender okay so recap masculine consonants families letter I knew sir lettuce or or oh yeah okay and once again it's not all of them will have exceptions of course and they are very rare but they are there so just keep an open mind when it comes to exceptions for example we have one the most common exceptions that a lot of Russians make mistake in and it's the words cause their coffee is coffee and we see it in some later year letter year should be muted know it's masculine why I have no idea why it's just I think historically it was coffee with masculine and that's why we keep now common it masculine they tries to change the gender of it like a lot of people started protesting against that because it's like you're changing the language you're changing the history of the language of the whole culture so coffee is masculine and it can name you a lot of a lot more examples of exceptions but let's not focus on that but yeah you can always look it up so that's it for today guys thank you so much for watching I hope that this was helpful and clear if you have any further questions please ask them down below in the comments in the comment section see you next time paka paka
