Koiné Greek uses various kinds of word endings.
|
|
The term "gender" refers to one of these varieties of word endings.
|
|
Gender endings in Koiné Greek indicate the grammatical gender of a word.
|
|
When a word refers to a person, the gender ending of the term usually indicates whether that person is a man or a woman.
|
|
Nouns, adjectives, pronouns, participles, and definite articles all require a gender ending.
|
|
Verbs and adverbs do not require a case ending.
|
|
|
|
There are three different kinds of gender endings: masculine, feminine, or neuter.
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`Masculine<gender_masculine>` ending indicates that the grammatical gender of that word is masculine.
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`Feminine<gender_feminine>` ending indicates that the grammatical gender of that word is feminine.
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`Neuter<gender_neuter>` ending indicates that the grammatical gender of that word is neuter.
