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 - Oriya + Pronunciation
my son is a student
[masculine + noun] ମୋ ପୁଅ ଜଣେ ଛାତ୍ର ଅଟେ
[mō pu'a jaṇē chātra aṭē]
her daughter is a student
[feminine + noun] ତାଙ୍କ ଝିଅ ଜଣେ ଛାତ୍ରୀ ଅଟେ
[tāṅka jhi'a jaṇē chātrī aṭē]
he has a tall brother
[adjective + masculine] ତା’ର ଗୋଟିଏ ଡେଙ୍ଗା ଭାଇ ଅଛି
[tā 'ra gōṭi'ē ḍēṅgā bhā'i achi]
