Since in pragmatics the speech act of warning reveals the intent of the speaker beyond its mere utterance, so it was necessary for the EFL learners to use in order to speak in a native-like manner. Although speech act studies were many, however, these dealing with warnings in terms of gender at production and recognition levels are scant in the Eastern context. To fill in this gap, this study set forth a quantitative method adapting two instruments: A Written Discourse Completion Task to collect data about the produced warnings in terms of directness and structure and A Multiple-choice Discourse Completion Task to collect data about the recognized warnings. The data were systematically organized and input into SPSS software. The study found that the males produced more direct warnings than the females whereas the females produced more indirect warnings than the males. The females significantly produced more if-conditional warnings than the males. The females significantly produced more yes-no question warnings than the males. The females significantly produced more hint warnings than the males. No gender variation was found at the recognition of warnings. Finally, the females were better at recognizing warnings than producing them.
