Question

Does spanish language have grammatical exceptions?

Answer 1

Sure it does. For example, these are the exceptions for gender:

1. Words that are shortened versions of other words. For example, la foto is feminine because it's short for la fotografía.

2. Words that end in -ista as the equivalent of the English "-ist." For example, dentista can be either masculine or feminine depending on whether the dentist referred to is a man or woman. A few words with other endings are treated the same way. For example, modelo can be either masculine or feminine when referring to a human model, but masculine in other uses (such as when referring to a model airplane).

3. Words whose meaning vary depending on the gender. For example, in some areas, la radio means "the radio," while el radio means "the radius" or "radium." Sometimes la radio is used to refer to the communications medium and el radio for a radio set. 4.Some masculine words that come from Greek end in -a. Most of these words have English cognates.

4. Words that are just exceptions.
