Suffixe: French Gender le/la

Le or la? Stop guessing.

Suffixe teaches French noun gender the practical way — by connecting each French noun to its suffix pattern, instead of memorizing thousands of words one at a time.

Most French nouns follow a rule. Words ending in -tion, -sion and -té are almost always feminine. Words ending in -ment, -age and -eau are almost always masculine. Learn around 30 suffix patterns and you can predict the gender of thousands of French words you have never seen before.

WHO IT'S FOR

Suffixe is built for A2–B1 French learners who can already build sentences but still guess at le and la. It works alongside any French course, textbook or language learning app, and is useful preparation for DELF and school French exams.

If you are learning French grammar and noun gender is the part that never sticks, this is the drill you are missing.

WHY SUFFIXES WORK

French gender is not random. It is mostly determined by word endings. Once you internalize the patterns, choosing between le and la stops being a coin flip and becomes a rule you apply automatically — in conversation, in writing, and in exams.
