television is masculino or femino?

Question

i found both la television and el televisor.. which one is true? is it la television or el televisor?

and another one is televisor or television?

Answer 1

Both are correct. If I recall correctly, the feminine la televisión refers more to the broadcasting industry, in general, and the masculine el televisor is for a TV set (aparatus-el televisor), however, if you look in our dictionary under the feminine la televsión you will see el televisor given as a definition so la televisión can be used for both the industry and the device. El televisor is strictly the device TV set).

Notice that you ver la televisión unless you are looking at the set and not the program.

Answer 2

I would definitely look this up using the dictionary on this site. As for your question, it's a feminine noun.

I agree, using the dictionary you will find the difference between the two words. - 00f2b5a1, DIC 9, 2009
