Rod imenica (Gender of Nouns)

In Croatian, nouns have three genders. You can identify the gender of a noun in the Nominative Singular by its ending:

1. Masculine (muški rod): ends in a consonant:

2. Feminine (ženski rod): ends in -a:

3. Neuter (srednji rod): ends in -o or -e:

Note: There are few exceptions, e.g. male names/roles ending in -a (tata - dad, kolega - colleague) are grammatically feminine in endings but masculine in agreement.
