Grammatical Gender

Grammatical gender is a grammatical category used in some languages where nouns are classified as masculine, feminine, or sometimes neuter. This classification affects how words like adjectives, articles, and pronouns agree with the noun, ensuring grammatical consistency. For example, in languages like Spanish or German, the word for “book” might be masculine, requiring masculine articles and adjectives, while “flower” might be feminine. Grammatical gender doesn't always relate to biological sex or gender identities; it's a structural feature of the language that helps organize and connect related words in sentences.
