Is un pull-over a feminine or masculine word?

"Un pull-over" is a masculine word in French. This is because it refers to a garment, and in French, most garments are masculine.

Here's why:

* Gender in French: French nouns have grammatical genders (masculine or feminine).

* Garment Gender: Most clothing items in French are masculine, even if they are typically worn by women. This is a linguistic quirk, not a reflection of the garment's gendered nature.

* Exceptions: There are some exceptions, such as "la robe" (the dress), "la chemise" (the shirt), and "la jupe" (the skirt).

To make it clear that you are referring to a sweater for a woman, you would say:

* "Un pull-over pour femme" (a sweater for a woman)

* "Un pull-over féminin" (a feminine sweater)
