Linguistic gender refers to the classification of nouns and pronouns in certain languages based on categories such as masculine, feminine, and neuter. This system affects how words are used in sentences, influencing agreement between nouns and adjectives, as well as verb forms. Languages like Spanish, French, and German exhibit this feature, where nouns are assigned a gender that may not necessarily align with biological sex. In contrast, languages such as English primarily use natural gender, where pronouns like "he" and "she" correspond to the biological sex of the person being referred to. While linguistic gender can shape communication and cultural perceptions, it varies significantly across different languages and can impact how speakers express identity and relationships.
