1. Masculine gender:(पुर्लिंग )
A noun is said to be in the Masculine gender if it refers to a male character or member of a species.

पुरुसत्व का बोध कराने वाले शब्द (संज्ञा ) पुर्लिंग कहलाते है।
e.g.
Woman, lioness, heroine, girl, mare, niece, empress, cow and actress are few of the feminine-gender nouns that we use.
नारित्व का बोध कराने वाले शब्द (संज्ञा ) स्त्रीलिंग कहलाते है।
