Grammar Guru: Gendered Nouns

In Afrikaans, all nouns have a gender – either masculine or feminine. When talking about clothing, remember to use the correct gendered articles (‘die’ for masculine and ‘die’ for feminine) before the item of clothing. For example, ‘die rok’ (the skirt) and ‘die trui’ (the sweater).
