How to distinguish masculine and feminine nouns? Most nouns ending in "a" or "h" sound are masculine and those ending in "i" are feminine, but how about the words ending with other letters, like "zabaan"? To form the plural of a noun I need to know its gender. My question is how to know it?

There is another rule: The words ending in t (derived from arabic) are feminine. For example: court: adalat, wisdom: hikmat, time (hour): sa'at, calamity: maseebat. Otherwise you have to learn gender of each noun.
