Are most Spanish words that end with the suffix 'cion' and 'sion' Feminine Gender?

Question

I read somewhere that most Spanish words ending in "ción" or "sión" are Feminine Gender. Is this correct? Thank You.

Thanks for the quick answers. Are there any other generalities for Gender? Thnx - phillywill, May 29, 2010

Answer 1

Yes it is correct!

Answer 2

If you like to use acronyms words ending in the letters L O S E R are usually masculine and words ending in D I O N Z A are usually feminine. Then you have the exceptions such as 'la mano', 'el día'...

Hmmm... Thank you. Uh...How about "SOLER" for masculine? But thanks for the tip. - phillywill, May 29, 2010

The noun, Soler, is masculine. - 005faa61, May 29, 2010
