GENDER OF NOUNS: A noun is a word representing a person, place, thing, or idea. In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine. Masculine Feminine el chico—boy la chica—girl el jardín—garden la universidad—university el miedo—fear la libertad—liberty Masculine Feminine el gato—male cat la gata—female cat el perro—male dog la perra—female dog el chico—boy la chica—girl el abuelo—grandfather la abuela—grandmother

Answer questions: How are all of the masculine nouns above alike? How are the feminine nouns alike? “El” and “la” both mean “the.”

GENDER OF NOUNS:

Nouns for people have natural gender. Other nouns have gender based

on their endings: Nouns that end in –o are usually masculine: libro, chico, carro. Nouns that end in –a are usually feminine: casa, chica, computadora.

There is no telling whether an inanimate object is masculine or feminine! Try predicting whether the Spanish words for the following things are masculine or feminine: book house money window For this reason, it is important to learn the definite article (“el” or “la”) whenever you learn a new noun. You can do this by finding the word’s gender in a dictionary.

Many nouns have gender that must be memorized.

_el_ corazón (heart), _la_ canción, _la_ nación, _el_ pulmón (lung).

_el_ ataud(coffin), _la_ salud,

_el_ agua, _el_ águila.

Actividad: Práctica 1 Guess whether the following nouns are masculine or feminine. If you think a noun is masculine, place “el” in front of it. If it is feminine, place “la” in front of it. Note that not all words end in an –o or an –a. Also, some ending in –o may be feminine or –a may be masculine (though this is rare). 1. ___ casa—house 2. ___ hombre—man 3. ___ mujer—woman 4. ___ carro—car 5. ___ muchacho—young man 6. ___ muchacha—young woman 7. ___ diccionario—dictionary 8. ___ tarea—homework 9. ___ voz—voice 10. ___ gabinete—cabinet 11. ___ corbata—neck tie 12. ___ vestido—dress

13.___ mapa—map

14.___ televisión—television

15.___ ciudad—city

16.___ actitud—attitude

17.___ día—day

18.___ mano—hand

19.___ profesor—professor (m.)

20.___ profesora—professor (f.)

21.___ conversación—conversation

22.___ decisión—decision

23.___ habitación—bedroom

24.___ oro—gold

¿QUÉ ES UN VERBO? (WHAT IS A VERB?)

A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. Example: I love cheese; I turned the page. (Action verbs) I am a teacher; I turned red. (State of being) In Spanish, we have 3 categories of verbs: a) -ar b) -er c) -ir *The infinitive is the base form of the verb, such as in english is: to eat, to live, etc.

The category is

determined by the

last two letters of

the infinitive:

Ex.: CANTAR

¿QUÉ ES UN VERBO? (WHAT IS A VERB?)

Spanish infinitives are divided into 2 parts:

1. the ending: last two letters of the infinitive (-ar, -er, -ir).

ending. habl + ar = hablar

CULTURAL SLIDES:

ESPAÑA

SOUTHERN SPAIN - ANDALUCIA:

Edificio (Building) “Alhambra”:

a) Is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-11th century by the Moorish emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar.

b) It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.

MÚSICA Y BAILE:

a. Flamenco, an art form that is part music and part dance, is an internationally recognized symbol of Spanish culture.

b. Its roots lie in the musical traditions of the Moors and the Byzantine Christians that once occupied the region of Andalucia.

c. However, over the past few centuries it has been developed and refined primarily by the gitanos (Roma, or Gypsies) that came to Spain in the mid-15th century.

d. The cante (singing), or song, is the center of a flamenco performance. It expresses deeply felt emotions that dancers then interpret through quick footwork called zapateado (footwork), fluid arm movements, and rhythmic hand clapping called palmas (hand-clapping). Guitars accompany the dancers to complete the performance.

•Each torero or matador fights two out of a total of six fighting

bulls, each of which is at least four years old and weighs up to

about 600 kg or 1,300 lb

•Bullfighting season in Spain runs from March to October.

• The modern Corrida de toros (bull fighting) is highly

ritualized, with three distinct parts called tercios that are

announced by a trumpet sound.

• The participants first enter the arena in a parade called

Paseillo to salute the presiding dignitary or president.

• Each matador has six assistants:

1. Two Picadores (lancers) mounted on horseback

2. Three Banderillos (flagmen)

3. and a Mozo de espada (sword servant)

And collectively they comprise a team of bullfighters.

Interesting facts about Bullfighting:

a. He was born in Jerez, Spain.

b. Became a “matador de toros” (killer of full-

grown bulls) in 1994 when he was 21 years

old.

c. In 2011, he was gored by a bull almost

dying from his injuries.

d. From a single horn wound through his

skull, he suffered multiple fractures to

both jaw and skull, facial paralysis, loss of

hearing in his right ear and of sigh in his

left eye.

e. Five months later in March 2012, he

returned to the bullring with an eye

patch—gaining the nickname ‘The Pirate”.
