Gender of Nouns: Part I




A noun is a word used to denote a person, place, thing, or idea.

Person: John, girl, dentist
Place: garden, university, Venezuela
Thing: book, car, tomato
Idea: liberty, despair, intelligence

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine.

Masculine Feminine
el chico
boy
la chica
girl

el jardín
garden
la universidad
university

el libro
book
la revista
magazine

el miedo
fear
la libertad
liberty


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea that nouns have gender seems perfectly natural when the noun stands for a living creature. This is because in English, living creatures often have different names, depending upon whether they are male or female.

Masculine Feminine

man woman
tiger tigress
aviator aviatrix


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following Spanish nouns all denote living creatures.

el gato
male cat
la gata
female cat

el perro
male dog
la perra
female dog

el chico
boy
la chica
girl

el abuelo
grandfather la abuela
grandmother


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are all of these masculine nouns alike?

el gato
el perro
el chico
el abuelo
Hint: look at both the beginning and the ending of each line.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are all of these feminine nouns alike?

la gata
la perra
la chica
la abuela
Hint: look at both the beginning and the ending of each line.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"El" and "la" both mean "the."

el chico (the boy)
la chica (the girl)
el perro (the male dog)
la gata (the female cat)
Note: These two words (el, la) are called "definite articles." You will learn more about them in a later lesson.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you notice about the last letter of these nouns?

Masculine

gato
perro
chico
abuelo


Feminine

gata
perra
chica
abuela

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nouns that end in -o are usually masculine. Nouns that end in -a are usually feminine.

Notice the word "usually!" There are exceptions to these two rules and you will soon be learning them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One cannot predict the gender of a noun that stands for a non-living thing. Try to predict whether the Spanish words for the following things are masculine or feminine:

Masculine or feminine?

book
house
money
window


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One cannot predict the gender of a noun, except in the case of living creatures. Do not try to analyze the nature of the object, looking for some inherent masculinity or femininity. It won't work!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take a guess. Do you think the Spanish word for "dress" is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be feminine, since a dress is an article of clothing worn by females. Actually, the word for "dress" is a masculine word:

el vestido

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take another guess. Do you think the Spanish word for "necktie" is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be masculine, since a necktie is an article of clothing worn by males. Actually, the word for "necktie" is a feminine word:

la corbata

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you learn a new noun, you should also learn its definite article (el, la). There are several reasons for this:

Because you cannot predict the gender of most nouns.


Because not every noun that ends in -o is masculine, and not every noun that ends in -a is feminine.


Because many nouns end in letters other than o or a.


Because the definite article (el, la) is your clue as to whether a noun is masculine or feminine.

Yes, let's just quietly acquiesce. Throw in the towel.

yeah, i dont know why we need another language (that's why i jokingly said the chihuahua line).. this could lower our standings on english speaking countries statistic and i don't want that to happen

I took spanish one in middle school, i'm also very rusty. I've actually used it because alot of recent immigrants can't speak a lick of english. Anyway carry on.

i regret taking two years in spanish (didnt know there was french) in high school since i don't remember a thing right now.. it's just there's something about that language that i really don't like compared to french or italian etc.

Mi quiero hoochie mama boom boom long time besame mucho.

Does that work for you?

Ummmmmm...most of the time.

If it ain't enough, then I'll use my secret weapon, which is Mi gusto el licko la panucha mama sita.

Vale, in Spain you would say "Quiero follarte?" , in Cuba "Quiero singarte", in Mexico "Quiero chingarte", in Argentina and most other places i guess ,in Latin America " Quiero cojerte"

In Spain:

La polla (means d!ck)
El coño ( means pussy)

In Cuba:

La pinga (means d!ck)
El bollo (means pussy)


In Argentina:

La pija (means d!ck)
La concha (means pussy)

and most other Latin American contries including Mexico:

La verga (means d!ck)
La panocha (means pussy)

hope this helps for when anyone encounters a hispanic babe

anybody need more help, just ask I'll be your tutor, im taking over Sonofvisayas lol

very informative

lol SI SEñOR!!! lol yeah dude, you never know when a Philipino Latin American sex exchange party is going to come around that would be sweet...my first Asian lol

In the Philippines, we're crude -- we'd just say, «Quiero joderte.»


Same here.

ehehehee good one lol that literally just means i want to fu-k you up lol

But your right, we may never know if we're gonna fu-k some girl from some Latin American country.

Dude consider the thread yours.

yeah man, which reminds me, you guys gotta teach me how to say the same things in tagalog




wow im honored lol

Yo la grande polla joder el pequeño coño

ok there Chief....seriously your talking like an Indian Chief would lol... ME BIG d!ck fu-k LITTLE PUSSY!! lol

Lol thats how speak spanish in the philippines, no conjugation, no gramar rules. For instance, a shoe we would call it "sapatos" instead of just "sapato".

lol yeah, its with z by the way, now im getting it heheheheh fu-king Spaniards didn't even teach you guys proper Spanish, god im ashamed sorry

so yeah its zapato , with a z, and yes when its plural it would be zapatos, with s at the end , pretty much like english

Heres an example of a town in Philippines with fukd up Spanish as their language.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7E-M4ML5SLg

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nMEVKEoXOO8

will hot latina girls like me more if i speak spanish?

sure, i guess....it defenitaly would help right? communication is key in any relationship.....i for one would like it more if a Philipina girl speaks Spanish, or if can speak tagalog to her, that way i can tell her how i want things done jejeje

^lol then teach me the ways of spanish

MILTON stop being so anal with them Pinoys, it's not as if you Cubans can speak Spanish properly. And it's Cuba who ashames Spain. You're poor and have indecent jobs.

yes, you shall learn the ways of the ESPAñOL!

than if you want to be romantic: (they like that a lot)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn2EypyFxoA


adios!

hehehe sure bob...let me guess? Another Mexican or Central/South American jelous of Cubans because we get papers and you dont? go somewhere else and start picking tomatoes and cleaning toilets will ya'

The song is very good. I always wondered what Chabacano sounded like, it's clearly influenced by Andalusian Spanish (southern Spain), despite it's broken the pronunciation is not so bad compared to Latin Americans who have weird accents. I like it.

About the TVE International channel, it's lame, the worst reporters work there.

No MILTON, my country is not so poor that I have to migrate sailing across the ocean on a truck tyre and then feel proud about being in a country that's not mine.

I'm Spanish, and unlike you who come from a third world country I don't have the need to "migral" as you Cubans say.

And people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Stop making fun on tomato pickers and toilet cleaners. Probably some of your relatives does that job.

this is an embrassment to all filipinos. kill that b!tch

the % of Cubans who come illegally is not even close to the % that come legally on planes... we are such "pinguos" (im sure you'll love that word , osea tenemos las pollas tan grandes) that we are the only ones who can come illegally and get our papers....not even you with your KING CARLOS THE f@g can get that

on top of that, Cuba is not a 3rd world country, i suggest picking up a book, or utilizing gee the internet, the wonderful tool you have at your fingertips and educate yourself, you'll be surprised where Cuba ranks against other countries in almost every sector with UN statistics...

funny that you mention that quote about throwing stones at the glass house, because my great grandparents from both sides all came from Spain, and Cuba is the result of Spanish imperialism, so its funny how you insult me, when if you probably see me in real life and i put my Spanish accent you would probably think im your fellow countryman...so i really don't know where you get your beef with me, probably had a bad experience with a Cuban before, ohh well im so sorry he stole your wife...

and yes, i will not stop making fun of tamatoe picking and toilet cleaning people, or Mexicans etc...because like i said you need to get out more and learn, because Cubans pretty much rule Miami, we have senators and mayors and House of Representatives and Secretary of Commerce and Coca Cola presidents and in this country with a population of only about 1 million, while Mexicans have like 26 million people, is a very very big achievement if you ask me...

Ummm El Robo Corazon??

parar debatir nosotros todo en español aqui

lol k weno... nada de conjugación.
Yo, la gran polla, jodo el coño pequeño.

oh that's fu-ked up. no more offensive comments please, don't matter against who. tengo el poder de dar los warningazos. no me hagás usarlo. it would suck to give the owner of this thread a warning. y qué desfachatez, andás diciendo cosas así aunque hay millones de cubanos que quieren atravesar el mar caribeño, cada uno se agarrando a un cajón... (y sólo para que puedan recoger tomates, así como dijiste vos...)



no sabía q los cubanos podían emigrar legalmente... you learn something new every day.

OMG SPANISH CLASS IN 3 DAYS. ARGH. ME ESTÁ ENLOKECEEEENDO. free marks, but i absolutely HATE speaking spanish. nunca en mi vida había visto una gente tan racista... aff!
