Chien or chienne
Without being specific, would one say “j’ai une chienne” or “j’ai un chien” when the dog in question is female?
Bonjour Kate,
I would agree with Maarten, when writing / reading. In everyday French / conversations etc, most of the time, people would tend to use the masculine word 'chien' (same with 'chat'). It might be because of their other meaning, which is extremely derogatory.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée!
Not sure what you mean by 'without being specific' - but if you have a female dog you would be specific and say "J'ai une chienne".

Hi Morn,
I am afraid that the word souris is feminine.
The rule you mention is a rule of thumb and in any case, there are always exceptions to any grammatical rules you will learn.
Bonne Continuation!
If i remember correctly there are exceptions to these rules like words ending with s,x, and something else that I don't remember maybe e since that is already feminine

Un oiseau is male?
Hi,
L' oiseau is masculine as a noun, we don't have a specific feminine term for a female bird, you would have to add the word 'femelle'
Hope this helps!
Also the ending is eau which would lead to it being masculine
Un oiseau is male?
