Korean Gender

****Here is it guys... the next chapter "Korean Gender". Keep on reading.. please vote and comment for more update of this book :)****

As we mentioned before, there is no Korean gender which is good news (compared to other languages).

While in English it is known that feminine refers to female qualities attributed specifically to women and girls or things considered feminine. The complement to feminine is masculine. In Korean, nouns are not masculine, feminine, they might be all considered "neutral".

Grammar Tips:
There are no genders in Korean, no feminine and no masculine. This applies to adjectives as well as nouns.

 Here are some examples:
