This is a short list of rules for determining noun gender in Spanish. It will work 99% of the time.
- Masculine if noun ends in -o or a consonant
- Nouns ending in the morhpemes -ción and -dad are feminine
- Feminine if noun ends in -a
- Nouns ending in -pa, -ta, -ma are masculine
There are some interesting discrepencies in the gender of nouns across Romance languages. A collection of those is being kept track of on the Faux Genders page
