🔻The Russian language has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
🔻You can typically tell the gender of a Russian noun based on its ending:

✅ Masculine: the word ends in a consonant or "й"

кот (cat)
год (year)
чай (tea)

✅ Feminine: the word ends in "а," "я," or "ия"

книга (book)
семья (family)
история (story)

✅ Neuter: the word ends in "о," "е," "ие," or "мя"

письмo (letter)
солнце (sun)
внимание (attention)
время (time)

🔻In general, words with neuter endings all tend to be inanimate things.

🔻Masculine or feminine nouns can both end in "ь":

день (day) (masc.)
жизнь (life) (fem.)

⚠️ And, of course, there are some exceptions:

папа (daddy) (masc.)
дядя (uncle) (masc.)
дедушка (grandfather) (masc.)
мужчина (man) (masc.)
кофе (coffee) (masc. or neuter)

🔻Professions and occupations, whose gender depends on the gender of the person involved.
Врач (doctor) (masc. or femin.)

I've prepared one exercise for you to practice Russian genders here. Just do it😎
