    1. Arabic nouns are either masculine or feminine. Most are masculine by default unless they end in certain suffixes that indicate femininity. 2. There are two main types of feminine nouns: those that are inherently feminine in meaning (like "sister" or "daughter") and those that are grammatically feminine based on suffixes or usage even if not inherently feminine. 3. Grammatically feminine nouns may have suffixes like taa marbouta or alif maqsura to indicate femininity or be considered feminine due to their category or type like names of countries or body parts. Broken plurals are also always grammatically feminine.

    The passage discusses the different types of gender in Arabic and how they are identified.

    There are two main types of gender in Arabic: masculine (mudhakkar) and feminine (mu'annath). Feminine can be further divided into real feminine (haqiqi) and not real feminine (ghair haqiqi).

    There are three main signs that indicate feminine gender in Arabic: taa marbuta (ة) at the end of a word, alif maqsura (ى) at the end of a word, and alif mamduda (ءا) at the end of a word.
