Gender
Nouns ending in ‑o are usually masculine, and nouns ending in ‑a are usually feminine.
But what about words that end in consonants? Luckily, most of them are still predictable!
| el | hospital tenedor |
|---|---|
| la | pared habitación televisión costumbre luz |
However, languages and days of the week are always masculine, no matter what letter they end with.
| languages | el español el inglés |
|---|---|
| days of the week | el lunes el sábado |
