Usage notes edit
In Ukrainian, non-Slavic proper nouns and most loanwords ending in -о or -і are indeclinable and take on the gender of their superordinate. Thus, Теннессі is masculine when referring to the state because штат (štat, “state”) is masculine, and feminine when referring to the river because ріка (rika, “river”) is feminine.
