→Some Grammar Concepts
Depending on the language, typical gender distinctions include masculine/feminine, masculine/feminine/neuter, masculine singular/feminine singular/neuter singular/genderless plural, and animate/inanimate. Not all languages have grammatical gender; for example, some languages have a single pronoun corresponding to the English "he," "she," and "it." In [[Hebrew]], the word for "it" is the same as the word for "this", so "I like it" would literally translate as "I like this”. Depending on the language, gender and [[number (grammar)|number]] may or may not be encoded separately, i.e., represented by separate [[morpheme]]s.
