Noun Gender

Arabic has two grammatical genders: masculine (مُذَكَّر) and feminine (مُؤَنَّث). So, you either have things that are already masculine or feminine such as الشمس (the sun) which is feminine, or القمر (the moon) which is masculine. Or, you have words that can be both feminine or masculine such as المُعَلِّم (the teacher, masculine) or المعلِّمة (the teacher, feminine) and are turned into feminine by adding a marker. The general rule is that if a noun ends with the following letters: ة/ـة ى اء then it's feminine.
