Best Answer

it is dependant on the gender of the word, look up the word in the dictionary and it should indicate whether it is feminine or masculine, un is for masculine, une is for feminine

Il y a quelques regles qui peuvent aider un peu - par example, les mots se terminant en "eur" ou "tion" sont en generale feminin. Mais pour la plupart des mots, il faut consulter une dictionnaire.

Et il y a toujours les mots surprenants qui peuvent etre masculin OU feminin - par ex. LE livre = "book", LA livre = pound; LE sueur = aristocrat or lord; LA sueur = sweat (!!!)
