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.
