Gender of Articles for Nouns
All Ladino nouns and adjectives have gender - however, their gender may differ based on origin. Words of Hispanic origin tend to have the same -o as the primary masculine marker and -a as the primary feminine marker [1]:
- ermano<n><sg><m> ↔ ermano (brother)
- kaza<n><sg><f> ↔ kaza (house)
Nouns ending in the suffix -or tend to be feminine as well:
- kolor<n><sg><f> ↔ kolor (color)
- dolor<n><sg><f> ↔ dolor (pain)
- kalor<n><sg><f> ↔ kalor (heat)
Words from different languages have different rules, though. Usually, if the noun refers to a male or female, the noun will possess that gender as well:
- tokea<n><sg><m> ↔ tokea (blower of the ram's horn)
- hasakí<n><sg><f> ↔ hasakí (the sultan's favorite woman)
Inanimate object nouns are usually masculine unless they end in -á/-a, -al, or -é:
- kavané<n><sg><f> ↔ kavané (coffeehouse)
- morá<n><sg><f> ↔ morá (fear)
- yaká <n><sg><f> ↔ yaká (collar)
