💡 Grammar Notes

Masculine vs. Feminine

Portuguese nouns have gender. Look at the articles (the words for "the" or "a"):

  • O (Masculine): O metro, O comboio.
  • A (Feminine): A estação, A saída.

Most words ending in -o are masculine, and most ending in -a are feminine, though there are exceptions!
