| 32 |
Esto es una... (feminin) |
|
|
| * |
In Spanish every noun is either feminine or masculin,
and (ussually) can be recognized by the ending of the noun
Most feminin nouns end in "a", e.g. la messa, la cassa, la montaña,
la mañana; but can have different endings as well, in which case can
be recognized by the definite article "la", e.g. la mujer
The definite article for feminine nouns is "la"
.... for masculine "el", e.g. el hombre, el papel, el señor...
NOTE: Do not stress about using the correct gender for nouns -
the main thing in the beginning is to get understood. Every
non-english speaker will be super happy if you simply understand
them, or if you make yourself understood. |
