➤ Explanation of Genders
Spanish nouns are different than English
nouns in that they must either be masculine or feminine. The <m> means that the
word listed (e.g.,
hombre
) is masculine.
Likewise an <f> would show the word to
be feminine.
➤ Understanding Definitions
When you find a definition, you may see
that there are several different meanings
for your word. Here is an example.
1. Type
2. Press
man
ENTER
.
.
This screen shows that “hombre” is the
most common use of the word.
The capitalized words found in brackets
indicate there's another category that this
word could be used with. For example, if
you are talking about a chess man, you
would use the word “pieza” instead of
“hombre”.
