gender mismatch ?

votes

im not a native speaker, and gender of nouns was somehow hard and kinda intimidating, so i set my mind on finding mismatches between nouns and their genders. it really made it a lot easier and much more fun learning nouns and genders in spanish.

following are a couple of my favorites.,please add if u can think of any others, cheers!

  • LA barba: beard, whiskers

  • EL sostén: bra

  • El vestido: dress

  • El traje de novia: wedding dress

  • La corbata: tie/necktie

  • EL embarazo: pregnancy
