Spanish Noun Gender
Today we are going to learn the Spanish Noun Gender.
Hoy aprenderemos el género del sustantivo en español.
In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine and singular or plural.
But, how do you know the gender of a noun?
If you want to be sure, you have to learn them by heart.
Fortunately, there
are a few general rules you can follow to determine if a noun is feminine or
masculine.
Not everything associated with a male is masculine and everything associated with a woman is feminine.
Most nouns ending in "o" are masculine.
Exceptions: Some nouns that end in "a" are masculine and some nouns that end in "o" are feminine.
Nouns ending in -ión -tad - dad -ud and -umbre are usually feminine
Many nouns ending in -ma are masculine
Nouns denoting animals:
The feminine of animal's nouns if formed by changing "o" to "a"
In other cases the feminine of animal's noun gender uses a completely different word.
Some noun genders are fixed and don't change. They refer both genders by the same word.
Nouns denoting people:
To make a noun feminine we usually change "o" to "a"
To make a noun feminine we usually change "e" to "a"
When a masculine noun ends in consonant, the feminine is formed by adding "a" after the final consonant.
In other cases, the feminine uses a completely different word.
Some nouns that refer to professions have the same form for masculine and feminine
