Noun Genders

In Icelandic there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Some of these are based on the actual gender if it's a noun that refers to a person. Otherwise, it varies but one can usually guess the gender of a noun based on a number of different endings.

Masculine nouns

Masculine nouns typically have the following endings:

• -ur
• -i
• -ir
• -ari
• -ll
• -nn
• -inn

Feminine nouns

Feminine nouns typically have the following endings:

• -a
• -un
• -ing

Neuter nouns

Neuter nouns usually either have an -að ending or are nouns that are monosyllabic or are compounds that end with monosyllabic nouns.
