Hi,
I think you will have to learn them.
I learn German and they have for example an ending on ‘ung’ is feminine, I don’t know if there is anything like that in Dutch. I don’t know if it’s said already but every plural starts with ‘de’. And every
diminutive ends with ‘je’.
plural singular diminutive =
de koeien de koe het koetje the cows/the cow/ “small” cow
de tulpen de tulp het tulpje the tulips/the tulip/ “small” tulip
de huizen het huis het huisje the houses/the house/ “small” house
I hope this helps
