Not all words ending in "a" are feminine, and not all words ending in"o" are masculine. "Babosa" used as a person word means a female idiot--actually a drooling idiot.

I need to know what your levels of Spanish and English are so I can address this question more at length. I would answer an intermediate quite differently than I would a beginner. So please fill out your profile. If you don't know how, click on my name and you will see my profile. You don't need to fill out your bio in Spanish like I did unless you are really advanced.

Buena suerte.
