Hello, beginners! Today, we will learn our first Spanish nouns for things. But first, let’s understand what a noun is.
A noun is a word that names a person, place, animal, or thing. For example, “car,” “dog,” and “table” are nouns because they name things we know.
In Spanish, nouns have a gender. This means they are either masculine (boy words) or feminine (girl words).
- Masculine nouns usually end with “o” (for example, “carro” means “car”).
- Feminine nouns usually end with “a” (for example, “mesa” means “table”).
When we talk about more than one thing, we use the plural form. To make a noun plural, we usually add an “s”:
- “carro” (car) becomes “carros” (cars)
- “mesa” (table) becomes “mesas” (tables)
Now, let’s learn 10 masculine nouns and 10 feminine nouns! Are you ready? Dante, a voice from Spain, will say the words for you.
