Latin nouns are either masculine, feminine or neuter. The nominative case generally indicates gender, e.g., nouns that end in -us are masculine, those that end in -a are feminine and those that end in -um are neuter. Not all nouns follow this rule, but many do.

In Spanish, words 95% of the time, feminine nouns will end with "a" or "as"while masculine will end with "o" or "os" example: "amigo" which is translated to "friend", a friend that is a boy, or in some cases "boyfriend". While "amiga" which is also translated to "friend" or "girlfriend". However some nouns are masculine even though they end in "a" or "as" for example: el sofá which means "The sofa" or "the couch". Or el sacapuntas (sack-a-poon-tahs) which is translated to "the pencil sharpener".
