Have you ever wondered how some people seem to get to grips with a new language very quickly? If learning a new language, there is often a key that opens the door faster. This article will be that key!
The biggest difference between the English and Spanish languages is that their are many Spanish words, a gender, what that means that the spelling of a word will be affected by, or what the word refers to. If that sounds a bit strange and not a simple lesson Spanish at all, let us a few examples.
A Spanish word for medical doctor is medically means a male doctor. If you wanted to write about a female doctor, you can use the word medica.
If you just read Spanish and medica, you know, that with reference to a female doctor, a male medical doctor. A word to the conclusion in O, if his describes a male and an A for a female, easy!
Sex, which words are used, before the object of the sentence so good, that is clear, if we set a good example. Medico means male doctor to say, "the male doctor" We could say, "el doctor" to say, "the female doctor" We could say, "la medica" so that "el" is to say "" for a male and "La" is to say "the" for a female.
I hope that you still think this is a simple Spanish lesson, because there are a few more, which must be observed.
We have seen that "La Medica" is "female" doctor, but the gender rule, if we want to say "A female doctor", this, we could say, "Una medica. So, if we want to say: "A male doctor" we can "UN-medical".
Finally, there is something to consider. If we have a group we need to know how gender impacts on the words in a sentence to describe to the group. In English we say, "the doctors" regardless of sex, the doctors in this group, but it is not so easy in Spanish. More than a female doctor could be called "Las medicas. More than a male doctor could be described as "Los Medicos".
The complication arises when you have more than one person to speak or write, but the group is composed of men and women, if this were the case that you always use the masculine option so that a group of doctors from the men and Women will be "Los Medicos" even though it fifty women and a man!
I hope you noted that a simple lesson in Spanish and that the beginning of a greater appreciation of the Spanish language. It is essential to learn Spanish, that the correct gender to the words in your rates, you would not lead to any insult?
