> You most often cannot guess the gender of a noun in quite a lot of languages
That's far from true. In Spanish it's quite easy most of the time:
Female form (-a):
casa (House)
taza (cup)
armadura (armour)
luna (moon)
leona (lioness)
escritora (female writer)
Male form (-o/-or/-on):
camión (truck)
sillón (sofa)
león (lion)
escritor (male writer)
You don't even need the article to guess which one is which one.
- pezezin 5y agoIt's not so clear and cut. For example, "acción" and any other noun that express the result of a verb ends in -ón, but they are female words. There are also plenty of male words that end in -a, and female words that end in -o: https://www.practicaespanol.com/mas-de-40-palabras-que-acaban-en-a-de-genero-masculino/ https://www.practicaespanol.com/mas-de-40-palabras-que-acaba...
