Gender Grammar Rules

In general, gender is used to distinguish between male and female, sometimes referred to as masculine and feminine. For example: my son and daughter are students the noun [son] is masculine, while [daughter] is feminine. The following examples use gender in different ways and places to demonstrate their behavior.

Grammar + Rules - Azerbaijani
my son is a student [masculine + noun] mənim oğlum tələbədir
her daughter is a student [feminine + noun] onun (qadın cinsi) qızı tələbədir
he has a tall brother [adjective + masculine] onun (kişi cinsi) hündür qardaşı var
she has a tall sister [adjective + feminine] onun (qadın cinsi) hündür bacısı var
his brothers are young [plural masculine + adjective] onun (kişi cinsi) qardaşları cavandırlar
his sisters are young [plural feminine + adjective] onun (kişi cinsi) bacıları cavandırlar
