1. Objective

By the end, you will transform several masculine noun phrases into feminine ones and vice versa.

2. I discover

Transform: djalë i ri → with vajzë. Which elements need to change?

3. I understand

To practise adjective gender, observe the whole phrase: djalë i ri, vajzë e re; burrë i lodhur, grua e lodhur. The linking particle i/e changes regularly; some adjectives also change form while others do not.

Watch out

Do not automatically change every adjective ending: some, such as bukur or mirë, keep the same form here.
