Language Insight: Gender in Hebrew

In Hebrew, nouns have a gender – they are either masculine or feminine. This affects the form of adjectives and verbs used with them. For example, the word for ‘book’ – ספר (sefer) – is masculine, so you would use masculine forms with it, such as ספר טוב (sefer tov) for ‘good book’.
