Grammar Alert: Russian Gendered Nouns

In Russian, all nouns have a gender – masculine, feminine, or neuter. This affects how you use family vocabulary. For example, ‘father’ is masculine (‘отец’), ‘mother’ is feminine (‘мать’), and ‘child’ is neuter (‘ребенок’). Make sure to match the gender of the noun when using family terms!
