Wizard’s Wisdom: Gendered Nouns

In Afrikaans, nouns have gender: masculine, feminine, or neuter. When talking about travel, remember to match adjectives and articles to the gender of the noun. For example, ‘die mooi stad‘ (the beautiful city) for a feminine noun, ‘die groot land‘ (the big country) for a neuter noun, and ‘die oulike kafee‘ (the cute café) for a masculine noun.
