Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/javanese Javanese] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will be discussing the gender system in Javanese. We will look at the different genders and how they are used in the language. We will also look at some examples of how to use gender in sentences. So let's get started! __TOC__

==Gender in Javanese==
In Javanese, there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. The gender of a noun is determined by its ending. Masculine nouns end in -a, feminine nouns end in -i, and neuter nouns end in -u. For example:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| anak-a || ah-nahk-ah || son
|-
| anak-i || ah-nahk-ee || daughter
|-
| anak-u || ah-nahk-oo || child
|}

The gender of a noun affects the form of the verb that is used with it. For example, the verb for "to eat" is ''makan'' in the masculine form, ''mangan'' in the feminine form, and ''meken'' in the neuter form.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| anak-a makan || ah-nahk-ah mah-kahn || the son eats
|-
| anak-i mangan || ah-nahk-ee mahng-ahn || the daughter eats
|-
| anak-u meken || ah-nahk-oo meh-kehn || the child eats
|}

The gender of a noun also affects the form of adjectives and pronouns that are used with it. For example, the pronoun for "he" is ''dia'' in the masculine form, ''dia'' in the feminine form, and ''dia'' in the neuter form.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| dia anak-a || dee-ah ah-nahk-ah || he is a son
|-
| dia anak-i || dee-ah ah-nahk-ee || she is a daughter
|-
| dia anak-u || dee-ah ah-nahk-oo || it is a child
|}

It is important to remember that the gender of a noun affects the form of the verb, adjective, and pronoun that is used with it.

==Examples==
Let's look at some examples of how to use gender in sentences.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| anak-a makan nasi || ah-nahk-ah mah-kahn nah-see || the son eats rice
|-
| anak-i mangan buah || ah-nahk-ee mahng-ahn bwah || the daughter eats fruit
|-
| anak-u meken susu || ah-nahk-oo meh-kehn soo-soo || the child drinks milk
|-
| dia anak-a || dee-ah ah-nahk-ah || he is a son
|-
| dia anak-i || dee-ah ah-nahk-ee || she is a daughter
|-
| dia anak-u || dee-ah ah-nahk-oo || it is a child
|}

==Practice==
To improve your [[Language/Javanese|Javanese]] [[Language/Javanese/Grammar|Grammar]], you can also use the [https://polyglotclub.com Polyglot Club] website. [https://polyglotclub.com/find-friends.php?search=send&d=0&f=36&offre1=63 Find native speakers] and ask them any [https://polyglotclub.com/language/javanese/question questions]!

Try to make sentences using the gender system. Here are some words to get you started:

# ayam (chicken)
# kucing (cat)
# anjing (dog)
