00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about genders, or masculine and feminine naming words.
00:11So let's start.
00:14Kids, we know that nouns are naming words used to name persons, animals, birds, places, things, and feelings.
00:26We also learned so many types of nouns. Now we are going to learn about genders.
00:35Every noun indicates that whether the person, animal, or thing we are talking about is a male, a female, or none of them.
00:49My friend's name is Olivia. Now can you judge from the name whether the friend is a boy or a girl?
01:05Yes, you can judge that it is a girl.
01:10And my other friend's name is John.
01:14Now can you judge from the name whether the friend is a boy or a girl?
01:21Yes, we can judge that John must be a boy.
01:26So the friend is male.
01:29So we have different naming words for males and females.
01:34The waiter is serving food.
01:36What does the word waiter represent, a male or a female?
01:43Waiter represents a male.
01:46The waitress is serving food.
01:50What does the word waitress represent, a male or a female?

02:06So every naming word indicates gender.
02:11Now let's have some examples of masculine and feminine naming words.
