Masculine nouns are generally not difficult to identify. The usually end in consonants, -u, -e or -i. Because neuter nouns can also end in all of these, they can sometimes take a bit of work to differentiate, however, masculine and neuter nouns generally end in different consonants.

- r (-or, -tor, -ar, -er)
- c (-ic),
- t (-ist),
- n (-an, -ean, -ân) or
- z (-ez)
Neuter nouns ending in consonants will usually end in:
- m (-ism),
- t (-ment, -mânt, -ut) or
- j (-aj)
