Adjetivos & género

El género y el número

All nouns (people, places, things & ideas) in Spanish have a gender and a number
Gender: masculine or feminine
Number: singular (1) or plural (more than 1)

El género (gender)

The gender of a noun does not have anything to do with a noun being "girly" or "manly," it is totally arbitrary.
