* French grammar uses grammatical genders: Nouns in French are either masculine or feminine. This is a grammatical feature of the language, not a reflection of actual gender.
* "Féminin" and "Masculin" are adjectives: In French, "féminin" and "masculin" are adjectives that describe things that are considered feminine or masculine. They can be used to describe a person's gender or the grammatical gender of a noun.
Here's how you might translate "feminine" or "masculine" into French depending on the context:
* Gender of a person:
* Feminine: "femme" (woman), "féminine" (adjective)
* Masculine: "homme" (man), "masculin" (adjective)
* Grammatical gender of a noun:
* Feminine: "féminin" (adjective)
* Masculine: "masculin" (adjective)
* Other contexts:

It's important to understand the context to choose the appropriate translation.
