Masculine nouns
The default gender, and how to spot it
Every noun in Arabic is either masculine or feminine. There's no neutral option, and it applies to objects just as much as to people — a book has a gender.
It matters because everything around the noun follows it: adjectives, verbs and pronouns all change to match.
Masculine is the default, and it carries no marker at all. Nothing is added to the word.
