Powwerful words - celebrating femalehood! / 5 minutes of Spanish- English version + Podcast
In this podcast we talk about feminine names or nouns and we also remember International Women's Day
.
Hello,
how are you?
Good
morning, good afternoon or good evening depending on where you are or what time
you are listening to us.
Thank
you very much for being here participating in this podcast about Spanish, a
language that we love and that today summons us.
We
are in 5 minutes of Spanish and this is episode number 188.
Welcome!
Thank you for being with us week after week, for your comments, for listening
and participating in this family that is Spanish in Cabo. Again, we will speak
in Spanish, with some translations, if you need the English version you have it
in the e mail but the idea is that you understand the context, not word by word
/ Word by word.
I
think that if you listen to us week by week you are already understanding more,
right? And if this is the first time you click on the 5 minutes, get up, you're
in a good place: Finish this episode and then look for us on SpanishUp2U,
Spotify or RRS.com, Amazon Music, Apple podcast, ¡estamos por todos lados! We
are everywhere.
But
don't listen to the above 187 podcasts all together..... Take it one step at a
time. What's today's topic?
This
week, on March 8, as you know we celebrate International Women's Day and as
every year....
Oops,
today we talk about women's rights and I say my very original joke: in my house
I always have the last word: yes dear.
Ha,
ha we have to laugh at this joke that I had never heard...But I was going to
say that as every year we are going to give a flower to the students. Besides,
March 8 is Friday and we have a cooking class, so the recipe has to be
feminine...But today's topic is the feminine words in Spanish.
A
very specific topic that is always good to review because, in Spanish, we have
the coordination between noun and adjective.
There
are very beautiful feminine words, for example,
la abundancia - abundance
If
they end in “a” the words are usually feminine.
la casa - the house
la palabra - the word
la receta - the recipe
We
say: "they are usually feminine" because, there are some words ending
in a, which are masculine:
el sofa - the sofa, the couch
el idioma - the language
On
the other hand, there are professions or nouns that end in a but they can be
masculine or feminine:
la periodista / el periodista -
the reporter, the journalist
la atleta, el atleta - the athlet
la dentista - el dentista - the dentist
All
nouns ending in dad- tad -sion -cion are feminine:
la diversión - the fun
la organización - the organization
la libertad - liberty
la ciudad - the city
la solidaridad - solidarity
Words
ending in ia or ie are feminine words
History - la
historia, la hysteria also, ha ha
The
series
And
all nouns ending in ad- ed -id -ud
la mitad - the half
la pared - the wall
la vid - the grapevine
la salud - health
And
there are more feminine words, usually in the professions one is added to for
example, el jefe, la jefa; el presidente, la presidenta.
Mexico
is going to have a female president for the first time on June 2, the two
majority candidates are women, one of the two is going to win.
And
you, do you remember other feminine words?
A
somewhat complicated topic (tema) nowadays with inclusive language....
Happy
Women's Day, abundant, hard-working, creative, supportive, intelligent woman
and student of Spanish.
