Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough

Otherwise, it's completely random, you have to study each case. It's natural for us, we don't try to guess if something is masculine or feminine.
Genders are different in every language of the world, even between Romance languages.
There are some endings that may help you, like words ending with -ette are feminine, but not each ending means you have to use a specific gender.
