Learners of Arabic should learn the gender of all nouns as they meet them
Notes General rule is “add a “taa’ marbuta” ( ــﺔ , )ﺓ to form the feminine from a masculine word, and omit it to form the masculine To form a feminine word from the masculine in Arabic, you simply add “taa’ marbuta” which looks like ( )ﺓ or ( ) ـﺔ depending on the word it’s connected to. Usually for animals, humans and professions… for example: kalb (ﻛﻠﺐ masculine dog) è kalba (ﻛﻠﺒﺔ dog feminine)
Examples Sadeeq (ﺻﺪﻳﻖ friend masculine) è Sadeeqa ( ﺻﺪﻳﻘﺔ friend feminine) Hazeen ( ﺣﺰﻳﻦ sad masculine) è hazeenah (ﺣﺰﻳﻨﺔ sad feminine) Kabeer ( ﻛﺒﻴﺮ big masculine) è kabeerah (ﻛﺒﻴﺮﺓ big feminine)
nouns are supposed to be masculine unless there is a feminine marker “taa’ marbuta” ( , )ﺓ ــﺔ affixed to them. As we have mentioned The difference between a tied taa ﺓ and an open one ﺕ is that a tied taa'< is pronounced ah or a Like “ ﺳﻴﺎﺭﺓ Sayarah” means car
