The derivation of the gender of the various nouns may go back to earlier languages (Sanskrit?) and how the thing/noun was perceived in that language's culture. Masculine and feminine nouns are not unique to Spanish or to Latin-based languages for that matter. Germanic and Semitic languages also have masculine/feminine nouns. To determine if a noun is masculine or feminine in Spanish, you usually check its final letter. Feminine nouns end in 'a,'while masculine nouns end in 'o.' However, there are some masculine nouns of primarily Greek origin which end in 'a,'e.g., el tema, el idioma

In Spanish, the gender of a word is mostly determined by its ending. Words that end in -o are generally masculine, while words that end in -a are generally feminine. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and some words have a fixed gender that cannot be altered. Additionally, some words that refer to living beings may have different genders depending on the biological sex of the subject being referred to.
