Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/italian Italian] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about the gender of nouns in Italian. We will look at the rules for determining the gender of nouns and practice with some examples. Let's get started! __TOC__

==Rules==
In Italian, nouns are either masculine or feminine. There are some general rules that can help you determine the gender of a noun.

* Nouns ending in -o are usually masculine.
* Nouns ending in -a are usually feminine.
* Nouns ending in -e can be either masculine or feminine.
* Nouns ending in -i are usually masculine.
* Nouns ending in -u are usually masculine.

However, there are some exceptions to these rules. For example, the noun ''amico'' (friend) is masculine, even though it ends in -o. The noun ''amica'' (female friend) is also feminine, even though it ends in -a.

==Examples==
Here are some examples of nouns and their genders:

|-
| amico || ah-mee-koh || friend || Masculine

|-
