Does French have feminine or masculine genders?

Yes, French has both feminine and masculine genders. This applies to nouns, adjectives, and even articles (the, a, etc.)

Here are some examples:

Masculine:

* Le livre (the book)

* Un chat (a cat)

* Beau (beautiful - masculine)

Feminine:

* La table (the table)

* Une chaise (a chair)

* Belle (beautiful - feminine)

It's important to note that gender does not always correspond to biological sex in French. For example, the word "table" is feminine, even though it is not a living thing.

This grammatical feature can sometimes be confusing for learners, but it's a fundamental part of the French language.
