III. GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES OF A NOUN
The grammatical categories of a noun are as follows:
1.Gender
2.Number
3.Case
4.Declension
GENDER
There are three genders in Latin: masculine (masculīnum), feminine (feminīnum) and neuter (neutrum). In contrast to Latin English nouns have only a natural gender, i.e. according to their sex: nouns designating males are masculine (man, boy), nouns designating females are feminine (woman, girl), and nouns designating inanimates are in the neuter gender.
Latin nouns have grammatical gender. Their gender is determined by the ending of Nominative singular.
Thus, nouns ending in -a are feminine: scapŭla (shoulder blade), nouns ending in –us are masculine: muscŭlus (muscle), nouns ending in –um are neuter etc.
The genders of a noun are indicated in the dictionaries with the letters:
•m - masculine
•f - feminine
•n – neuter
