==== Gender ====
Turkish does not have grammatical gender and the sex of a person does not affect the forms of words. The third-person pronoun ''{{lang|tr|o}}'' may refer to "he", "she" or "it." Despite this lack, Turkish still has ways of indicating gender in nouns:

# Most '''domestic animals''' have male and female forms, e.g., ''{{lang|tr|aygır}}'' (stallion), ''{{lang|tr|kısrak}}'' (mare), ''{{lang|tr|boğa}}'' (bull), ''{{lang|tr|inek}}'' (cow). 
# For '''other animals''', the sex may be indicated by adding the word ''{{lang|tr|erkek}}'' (male) or ''{{lang|tr|dişi}}'' (female) before the corresponding noun, e.g., ''{{lang|tr|dişi kedi}}'' (female cat).
# For '''people''', the female sex may be indicated by adding the word ''{{lang|tr|kız}}'' (girl) or ''{{lang|tr|kadın}}'' (woman), e.g., ''{{lang|tr|kadın kahraman}}'' (heroine) instead of ''{{lang|tr|kahraman}}'' (hero).
# Some foreign words of [[French language|French]] or [[Arabic language|Arabic]] origin already have separate female forms, e.g., ''{{lang|tr|aktris}}'' (actress).
# The [[Serbo-Croatian|Serbo-Croat]] feminine suffix –ica is used in three borrowings: ''{{lang|tr|kraliçe}}'' (queen), ''{{lang|tr|imparatoriçe}}'' (empress) and ''{{lang|tr|çariçe}}'' (tsarina). This suffix was used in the neologism ''{{lang|tr|tanrıça}}'' (< Old Turkic ''{{lang|otk|tanrı}}'' "god").
