Spanish Gender

Some times English speakers strugle with Spanish gender. English doesn't have gender when it comes to nouns. However, most languages do. Here is a quick and simple dialogue to get you started using the correct gender for each noun. For more practice go to the Spanish nouns section in the grammar.

Mama, no me deja
entrar en mi cuarto.

A: Mama, no me deja entrar en mi cuarto.

Mom, she won't let me in my room.

B: Se está cambiando.

She's getting changed.

A: Nada más está quitando su ropa.

She's just taking her clothes off.

B: Por su puesto, ella es una dama, y tú eres un hombre.

That's right, she's a girl and you're a boy.

Now to see the mindset when translating:

Mama no me deja entrar en
Mom no me lets enter in
mi cuarto
my room

Se está cambiando
Herself she is changing

Nada más está quitando su ropa
Nothing more is taking off her clothes

Por su puesto ella es una dama y
Exactly she is a woman and
tú eres un hombre
you are a man
