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 - Russian + Pronunciation
my son is a student
[masculine + noun] мой сын студент Audio [moy sin stoodyent]
her daughter is a student
[feminine + noun] ее дочь студентка Audio [yeye dochʲ stoodyentka]
he has a tall brother
[adjective + masculine] его брат высокий Audio [yego brat visokiy]

[adjective + feminine] ее сестра высокая Audio [yeye syestra visokaya]
his brothers are young
[plural masculine + adjective] его братья молодые Audio [yego bratʲya molodiye]
his sisters are young
