Gender: gender

Values: Com Fem Masc Neut

Gender is a lexical feature of nouns, proper nouns, adjectives, determiners, pronouns, numerals and verbs(participles). There are three values of gender: masculine, feminine, and neuter. In Modern Greek Gender is grammatical although, in the case of annimates, it is more likely that grammatical gender denotes the sex.

Fem: feminine gender

Nouns denoting female persons are feminine. Other nouns may be also grammatically feminine, without any relation to sex.

Examples

Masc: masculine gender

Nouns denoting male persons are masculine. Other nouns may be also grammatically masculine, without any relation to sex.

Examples

Neut: neuter gender

This third gender is for nouns that are neither masculine nor feminine (grammatically). They still may denote humans of either sex.
