Gender

From Tomísimo

There are three grammatical genders (género in Spanish) in Spanish masculine, femenine and neuter. Masculine and feminine are very common and neuter is not, and is only used in a few expressions. It is very important to understand that this is a grammatical concept, and has nothing to do with gender in terms of male and female. To better understand, think of them simply as types of nouns. The ending of adjectives used to modify the noun must change to agree with the type of noun.

one way to understand the gender in the most common situations is following this simple rule:

- male gender almost half percent ends with "o" letter - female gender almost half percent ends with "a" letter

example:

in base to "dog"

the male noun is "perr{o}" the female noun is "perr{a}"

in base to boy/girl

the male noun is "niñ{o}" the female noun is "niñ{a}"
