Adjectives usually have different masculine and feminine forms. If the
feminine is formed by adding one or two letters to the masculine, it is
shown in this way:
petit(e) or blanc(he) – so blanc is the
form of white used with masculine nouns, and blanche is the form of
white used with feminine nouns.
If more of a change is required to form the feminine adjective, the
masculine and feminine forms are shown separately, for example:
nouveau, nouvelle – new (nouveau is used with masculine
nouns, and nouvelle is used with feminine nouns).
