"It is a book."

Translation: C'est un livre.

[labrierian]

Are there any general rules for distinguishing masculine versus feminine nouns in French? Like how in Spanish generally the nouns ending in -o are masculine and those ending in -a, -d, -ion are feminine?

I dont get it like theres a "e" at the end so isnt it femenine

[AchyuthanS]

I think that rule doesn't apply here. Livre is masculine, and it is easier if we memorise that.
