Portuguese words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or, in some cases, neuter. '''''O''''' (the masculine form of ''the'') is used with masculine words. '''''A''''' (the feminine form of ''the'') is used with feminine words. Masculine nouns generally end in '''''o'''''<i>, '''r''', '''l''', </i>and '''''ma'''''. Feminine nouns generally end in '''''a,''''' '''''ão''''', '''''dade''''', '''''tude''''', and '''''ume'''''. Nouns which end in '''''or''''' generally are masculine; an '''''a''''' is added to indicate the feminine version. | Portuguese words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or, in some cases, neuter.
