Serbian Noun Gender

Choose the gender of each noun. This is the first step before adjective agreement and cases.

The gender–ending rule

MASCULINEnoun ends in a consonant, e.g. grad, pas, stol

FEMININEnoun ends in −a, e.g. kuća, žena, reka

NEUTERnoun ends in −o or −e, e.g. selo, more, dete

Most Serbian nouns follow these ending rules, but there are exceptions you must learn per word: stvar and noć are feminine despite ending in a consonant; sudija, đak and tata are masculine despite ending in −a.
