feminine gender

In grammar, feminine refers to a noun, pronoun, adjective, or inflectional form that belongs to a specific class. This classification requires agreement, or concord, with other words in a sentence, such as pronouns and adjectives.12

For example, in French, an adjective changes its form depending on whether the noun it modifies is masculine or feminine. While nouns referring to male or female beings usually align with their logical gender, for most other nouns, the gender assignment is arbitrary. English does not have grammatical gender; instead, it uses "natural gender" based on real-world awareness, with "he" for males, "she" for females, and "it" for inanimates.1
