Gender Exercises For Estonian Grammar

Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the appropriate Estonian word for the context (male or female)

In Estonian grammar, gender is not as prevalent as it is in many other languages. Estonian does not have distinct gender categories for nouns, pronouns, or adjectives. Instead, the language relies on context and common usage to convey the gender of a subject. Nevertheless, some words may imply a specific gender through their meaning or historical usage. By learning these nuances, students can better understand Estonian language and its subtle ways of expressing gender.
