I've talked about this before, but I feel really drawn to learning Polish because most of my ancestors that I know of are Polish, but it's such a difficult language so I'm going to start by learning the Polish folk names for various plants and herbs. As a huge botany nerd, I figured that might be a good way to get my foot in the door and familiarize myself with the sounds and pronunciation of the language. Let's hope it works 🙏

Polish Animals 1 Lesson

Nouns: Gender

All Polish nouns belong to one of three gender categories: masculine (masc.), feminine (fem.) and neuter (neut.)

Grammatical gender is quite significant. Among others, it determines the case endings that the noun takes. So, for example, the way in which the Accusative form is created is different for feminine and masculine nouns.

Grammatical gender is not the same as natural gender (or sex). Apart from nouns for people and animals (animate nouns), it is also assigned to plants, objects and abstract concepts (inanimate nouns).

Grammatical gender is entirely arbitrary and depends mostly on the given word's ending. There is nothing in the meaning of woda (water) that would make you think that it is a feminine noun, just as there is nothing particularly masculine about chleb (bread).

When it comes to animate nouns, the distinction is just as “random”: kaczka (duck) is of feminine gender, while pies (dog) is of masculine gender. The gender of the noun is always fixed – even if we are referring to a male duck or a female dog. There exist certain nouns that can be used to describe animals of a specific sex – such as kaczor (male duck) or suka (female dog) – but obviously, they are not as common as the general nouns.

Gender endings

Masculine nouns usually end in a consonant, for example: chłopiec (boy), kot (cat), ser (cheese).

However, some masculine nouns for persons end in -a, for example: mężczyzna (man), kolega (colleague), artysta (artist).

Feminine nouns tend to end in -a, for example: dziewczyna (girl), ryba (fish), kawa (coffee).

There are some exceptions to this rule – mysz (mouse) is feminine, even though it ends in a consonant. Other exceptions that are feminine despite not ending with -a include words like twarz (face), noc (night) and miłość (love).

Neuter nouns most often end in -o, -e or -ę, for example: dziecko (child), jedzenie (food), zwierzę (animal). Another common ending is -um (muzeum = museum), which makes the word neuter and not masculine, despite ending with a consonant.
