    Default Easy Romance

    Learning Romance languages altogether.

    ---
    1

    -CTION (action, collection...)

    = -CÇÃO(Portuguese) : a acção, a colecção
    = -CCIÓN (Spanish) : la acción, la colección
    = -CCIÓ (Catalan) : l'acció, la col·lecció
    = -CTION (French) : l'action, la collection
    = -ZIONE (Italian) : l'azione, la colezione

    Words ending like that are feminine. So we use LA (L' before a- in C/F/I), A (in P).

    ---
    2

    -MENT (sentiment, treatment, instrument...)

    = -MENTO (P): o sentimento, o tratamento, o instrumento
    = -MIENTO (S): el sentimiento, el tratamiento, el instrumento
    = -MENT (C): el sentiment, el tractament, l'instrument
    = -MENT (F): le sentiment, le traitement, l'instrument
    = -MENTO (I): il sentimento, il trattamento, l'instrumento

    Words ending like that are masculine. So we use EL (S/C), LE (F), IL (I), O (P) and L' before vowel (C/F/I).

    ---
    3

    -ITY (productivity, university...)

    = -IDADE (P) : a productividade, a universidade
    = -IDAD (S) : la productividad, la universidad
    = -ITAT (C) : la productivitat, la universitat
    = -ITÉ (F) : la productivité, l'université
    = -ITÀ (I) : la produttività, l'università

    Words ending like that are feminine.

    ---
    4

    -AGE (language, voyage...)

    = -AGEM (P) : a linguagem, a viagem
    = -AJE (S) : el lenguaje, el viaje
    = -ATGE (C) : el llenguatge, el viatge
    = -AGE (F) : le language, le voyage
    = -AGGIO (I) : il linguaggio, il viaggio

    Words ending like that are masculine, except in Portuguese!

    And this is the end of lesson 1.

    Where is poor old Romanian? :-D

    Also, a minor correction: it's lo strumento, not *l'instrumento.

    I can understand why, but then, it's not Sino-Tibetan or North Caucasian, is it?

    Lol. The only reason why Romanian isn't there is because my knowledge of it is much more basic.

    Oh, and yes, it's lo strumento, of course. A lapsus, as I was going fast. Grazie for noticing. Tell me about any other possible mistakes.

    O viagem would sound weird.

    Lol. The big difference is that Romania means 'land of Romans' while the name for the Roma comes from Gypsy rom or rrom, "man".
