Best Answer

It reflects the same gender as the noun it is describing.

Un homme gentil. Gentil is masculine, as is homme.

Une femme gentille. Gentille is feminine, as is femme.

There is no way of knowing if a noun is M or F, except in rare cases.

However, adjectives can USUALLY be determined. Sometimes, however, they remain the same for both M and F.

What are example of masculine and feminine words?

In English, almost all nouns (with the obvious exception of some proper nouns) are genderless. In languages where nouns do have gender, it's very nearly random. A word which is masculine in one language may well be feminine in another. Even within a single language, you generally just have to "know" which words are which. In French, nouns which take the adjective "Le" are masculine while those which take the adjective "La" are feminine.

Is car feminine or masculine in french?

Objects are not feminine or masculine, specific words are. If there's more than one word for the same object, they don't necessarily have to have the same gender. So you'd need to specify which particular word you meant. The ones I know of (voiture and automobile) are feminine, but there could be a masculine one I'm unaware of.
