Gender : (Male/Female)
Urdu grammatical gender of nouns is one
of two: a noun may be masculine or it may be
feminine, and there is no neutral option.
Moreover, masculine is the defautl grammatical gender and a word does not have to have
anything special in order to reflect this.
Femininity, on the other hand, is not default
and a noun would have to have something
special to reflect this gender.
