In Dutch usually the gender just has to be learned for every word, it can only be derived from the noun and its spelling in a few cases, the final letter is not one of those. So it's not as easy as in Spanish for instance. See the full explanation here.
So Dutch relies more on memorization than on rules (see https://www.duolingo.com/skill/dn/Plurals). Thanks Susande for adding this to my list. :P.
