Gender:

Nouns in Polish can be either masculine, feminine or neuter. Sometimes the gender of a noun is determined "naturally" by the sex of the person or animal . For example, brat (brother) is maculine, while siostra (sister) is feminine. Often, however, gender is simply a grammatical category and indicates the declension pattern that the noun follows. Adjectives, pronouns, and the ordinal numbers agree in gender with the nouns they modify.
