dothraki1-3 Exercise 3: Animate and Inanimate ============================================== The difference Animate ("sky") nouns have a separate plural form and a fuller set of case endings. Inanimate ("grass") nouns use one form for one or many. Why "gender" misleads Gender in French or German is masculine/feminine. Dothraki has no such split. Its division is between living (animate) and non-living (inanimate) things, and it affects plurals and case. How to find the class It has to be learned with the noun; it cannot be guessed from the meaning, so check the dictionary entry.
