  terms of gender.

  word for table (?????) is feminine.

  form the feminine from a masculine word, and omit
  it to form the masculine

  Arabic, you simply add taa marbuta which looks
  like (?) or ( ?? ) depending on the word its
  connected to. Usually for animals, humans and
  professions for example
• kalb??? (masculine dog) è kalba ????(dog feminine)
