a gable refers to the type of roof you have if it goes straight up to a peak or point then u have a gable type roof. if it slopes back toward the center then its called a hip roof another way to tell is that gutters are never put on the gable end of a roof but on a hip roof there are put all the way around the house. also you will find an attic vent at the top of a gable under the eve

The gabled roof is the most common roof design consisting of two planes that meet at a central peak and slope down to the building's long walls.

The gable is the vertical shaped triangle when two sloped gable roofs are built. If you looking at a house and you see the two roofs coming up to meet at a point your looking at the gable end..
