The gender of a noun is a way to cetegorize words. In German grammar for instance, there are three genders: masculinum, femininum and neutrum.The gender of a word affects how it is used and referenced in sentences and does not nescessarily have anything to do with the meaning of a word. In fact the German word Mädchen (girl) is considered neutrum.
