Spanish 101 - Learn Nouns and Articles in Spanish for Beginners - Spanish With Profe

In this video we will learn Nouns and Articles in Spanish.

In Spanish just like in English nouns can either be singular or plural. However, in Spanish nouns have a gender: masculine, feminine, and some of them can be neutral.

Most nouns ending in "o" will be masculine; while most nouns ending in "a" will be feminine.

There will be other nouns that will be neutral such as: the ending -ista, the words joven, estudiante. With neutral nouns the gender is identify by the article they use such as: masculine- un, unos (indefinite: a, an, some) and or feminine-una, unas (indefinite: a, an, some); or the definite articles: masculine- el, los (the); and feminine - la, las (the)

In Spanish if the noun is singular you must use a singular article.

When talking about nouns it is a good idea to keep the following in mind: Nouns in Spanish agree in both number (s/pl) and in gender (m/f).
Number whether it is singular or plural; and gender whether you are referring to a masculine noun or a feminine noun.

In Spanish it is easy to make a noun plural. In English making a noun plural can be a bit hard. (E.g. church+es=churches; book+s= books, apple+s=apples) In Spanish the rule is the following:

Any noun that ends in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) you need to add "s" to make it plural. E.g. casa + s= casas
Any noun ending in a consonant (d, n, l, etc.) you need to add "es" to make it plural. E.g. ciudad + es= ciudades
