El género (2)

Nouns ending in -E can be either masculine or feminine, hence you must learn their gender case by case.

La madre (the mother)
El padre (the father)
La clase (the class)
El coche (the car)

Note: here also, we have some "transgender" nouns. There are feminine nouns that use the masculine article (el) in singular.

El arte, las artes (the art)
El ave, las aves (the bird)

Useful tip: nouns ending in -AJE are always masculine!

El garaje (the garage)
El traje (the suit)
El viaje (the trip)
El equipaje (the luggage)

Useful tip: nouns ending in -UMBRE are always feminine!


La legumbre (the pulse, the leguminous vegetable) 
La muchedumbre (the crowd)
