Learning a new language takes time and patience, but it's also a lot of fun.

Sometimes, though, language learning can be slightly… bewildering. Take, for instance, when the words for things and objects are masculine, feminine or gender neutral (or 'neuter').

For example, in Spanish, guitar - la guitarra - is a feminine noun, whereas theatre - el teatro - is masculine. If it’s a language concept you’re not used to, it can be perplexing to grasp. It’s something English doesn’t have - but plenty of other languages do.

In this quiz, we’ve collected examples from different languages. Some follow basic rules when applying genders, others less so. See how many you can identify (or guess!) correctly.
