1. Objective

By the end, you will choose and manipulate forms related to “Noun gender” without copying the model.

2. Discover

Take two known examples of “Noun gender” and change one element at a time: person, number, tense or context as appropriate.

3. Understand

In Albanian, genre du nom is visible in the noun form or in the words around it. Compare complete pairs rather than memorising an ending on its own: djali — mashkullore; burri — mashkullore; libri — mashkullore.
