Masculine vs. Feminine
Gender
In Spanish (and other romance languages) all nouns have a gender; they are either masculine or feminine.
In Spanish, masculine nouns tend to end in 'O' and feminine nouns tend to end in 'A.' The is a general rule. You will learn lots of exceptions to the rule. However, as we talk about names you will notice that most of the names that end in 'O' are boys and many of the names that end in 'A' are girls. |
