Now then we're going to learn the article's topic and nouns along with it.
This is a very very important topic because you'll be not only learning the knowledge of articles and
nouns but at the same time you will be learning and upgrading your vocabulary in the Spanish language.
Now there are two types of articles in the Spanish language.
One is indefinite article and the other one is the definite article not an indefinite article in English
means.
Whereas the definite article in English means the same goes for Spanish.
However the only difference is that in Spanish We have two types of an owner and two types of the.
And in LA now Mauldin own is used with a masculine known whereas ONA is used for the feminine noun.
Same goes for the definite article and is used for a masculine noun and love is used with a feminine
noun.
Now one thing you need to know that in Spanish nouns have genders but in English we don't.
For example we have words such as table chair pictures which record wall AC and these do not have genders.
However in Spanish these same words will have genders.
That's why we say a male noun and a female lower now then masculine nouns in Spanish have different
endings.
The end and all or R and E M A feminine nouns and Spanish and an A.
The A.D. C I O N S I O N D D U M B R E and you d when you see a word ending these endings then you can
find out whether this known as masculine or this known as feminine.
For example let's look at some words that we'll use on or L means o or the.
In other words I'm telling you which nouns are masculine in Spanish.
Let's look at the very first word on petrol.
This means a dog if you can recall just a minute ago I told you on means oh in Spanish.
I'd also told you that all is used with a masculine noun and along with it.
If you remember you had learned that all nouns are masculine that ended.
Oh that's why we use all over here as the word federal is ending in.
Oh all right.
Pedro means a dog.
Now then the second word Federal.
We have the same word Federal.
But here I've used a definite article is a petrol means the dog over here.
Again we are using L because the word barrel is ending in an O now and on profits soared.
This means a teacher but a male teacher.
Now why are we putting on it doesn't have an O.
This word is ending in an R over here we use on because the word prophet sword is ending in an or R
and just a while ago I had told you all mounts in Spanish that end in all r r masculine nouns.
That's why we're here.
We're seeing one professor sort note and the fourth word and Professor sword.
This means the male teacher if you can remember El means though we use El over here because prophet
sort is ending in o r El Prof a sword means the male teacher in the fifth one on problema it means a
problem now then you must be saying hey hold on a minute.
The word probably is ending in a.
So why were we saying on problema smart growth is not correct.
However it is correct because if you remember in this lecture I just told you that nouns that end in
E M E L repeat E M E are masculine if they end and only 8 then their feminine if they end an e made
together then they are masculine nouns so one problem means are problem because own means Oh over here
we using on as a problem are because it is ending in EMEA so we say one problem the next one El problema
it means the problem
no you have just learned that there are different kinds of nouns as Spanish masculine nouns are ending
in all or r e mi whereas the nouns in Spanish that are feminine and in a and b are ECI or when et cetera
et cetera.
However there are also nouns in Spanish that despite ending in all will be feminine and despite ending
in an e will be masculine.
Now what are these nouns these nouns are called exceptions exceptions are words that do not follow the
rule that was explained earlier masculine nouns in this are as follows or mapper it means a map.
Notice that this word is ending in a but still I'm taking it as O masculine noun because it's just a
rule of the language on the map means a map.
Now this word on this indefinite article is telling me that this is a muscular noun.
If someone just probably sees the word magpie and they see it's an ape sending in a they will probably
say oh no but that's not true.
It is on my bar.
So the article will always tell you whether a noun is masking or feminine in this case though on my
part.
This all is telling me that my by is a masculine noun not and the second word on planet that means a
planet.
Again its ending in an E but I'm taking it as a masculine on planet I know who invented it warded it
is a Spanish language we can't change it at Lima it means the climate it is ending in an A but I'm still
taking it as a masculine now LDA it means the day again this is also ending money but I'm still taking
it as a masculine.
The next one L from via the tram again is ending in a but I'm taking it as Eldon beer now than these
are just the very common ones now the feminine nouns that have exceptions.
Again this means feminine knows that end in
a but in this case it they're not ending and they're ending and all but I'm yet looking at them as a
feminine noun or not ideal means a radio.
It is ending in an all but I'm still saying it's feminine noun or not at the U.
Next one or not photo though a photograph or not multiple a motorbike not model the hand.
Notice that these are all the very common nouns and there are just exceptions.
Do not be confused you not worried that hey the word photo is ending and all then why aren't we seeing
one photo.
Why are we seeing when a photo Well again I would like to repeat that these are exceptions and remembering
them will make it perfect.
OK you need to memorize each and every word and then you will know you will then understand which ones
are exceptions and which are absolutely masculine and feminine nouns Now then let's look at some examples
of feminine articles and how to form plurals.
Let's look at some words that use all noun mountain owner Chika logic.
In this case or not she come is a girl she -- means the girl all right.
Now I'm using not with this word because she is ending in an e and so I use all not Chico LA Chico or
Nazi dub Oh city laughs You dot the city I'm using or not with this word because you does is ending
in d d And as I told you earlier words that end in d d are all feminine or nice to see on means a season.
It also means a station lifestyle Si On means though season the station this word is ending and CIO
and hence it is feminine noun.
Will not deliver Si On or television LA to live assume though television as I own ending.
That's why it's a feminine noun.
That's why I'm using the feminine articles or not Farkle thought oh department love Buchwald thought
the department does ending in.
So that's why it's considered feminine.
All right.
When I said they don't break us or eternity lol said they do.
Those are eternity.
This word is ending in you BRT hands.
This word is feminine or no human thought Lao human thought youth.
The youth read this word is ending in do you D.
Hence it is considered as a feminine noun.
However here none of these endings are you.
All these endings were explained to you a few minutes ago now then.
Now that we have learned which kinds of articles exist in the Spanish language we are not going to learn
how to form plurals of articles and nouns.
Let's look at the first one on its plural is or knows it means some.
We're just adding Oh.
Let's look at owner.
Its plural is on us.
It means some.
Now let's look at the definite articles and now if you remember El means though its plural is lost.
It is very very different.
Lost means though also nouns plural is lost all right.
And its meaning is the know how to change a word into its plural form if a word ends in a vowel.
Okay vowel is e i o u if a vowel at ends in these endings we're just going to add an S for example the
word battle which means a dog in order to change it into plural.
We're just adding s so it becomes petrels.
If a word ends in a consonant for example consonants are letters that are not vowels so if they end
in a consonant with simply add E S for example Prof assault this word is ending in an R.
If you see very carefully in order to change it into plural we add e s so it becomes Professor sort
is Professor.
It is a meat male teacher so Professor Chris would be male teachers.
I would also like to tell you professors can also be a group of male and female teachers together if
a word ends in said the omerta set and at CBS for example hear the word Beth is ending in a Z.
All right.
It means fish in order to change it into its plural form.
We're going to omit the Z and write C S so it becomes Beth is I would just like to practice with you.
The sound of the letter is that now the Z has two kinds of pronunciations.
One is the and the other one is Thor OK not the pronunciation of though is told and is used a lot in
speaking in Castilian Spanish.
Whereas the sound of Z is used in Latin America especially in Mexico.
So a person from Spain would be saying the word Beth as Beth and the person in Latin America from Mexico
would be saying Bess noticed the difference between Beth and Bess.
Beth has a slightly stronger sound whereas Bess is more soft but both are correct.
You're the boss.
You can decide which pronunciation you would like to use.
I generally like to use the pronunciation of the style in Spanish.
Now let's look at other nouns that are also known as that end and I s t e an E and T E.
This means that there are more endings in the Spanish language.
Just now you had learned nouns that end in or a r e.
But now over here you're going to learn other endings I S T in and t know what happens with these kinds
of nouns.
When a word had these endings they remained the same for female.
Also OK they are same for both masculine and feminine.
OK now then for example what do I mean when I say this the word can something which means singer will
be conducted too in its feminine form.
It will not change.
OK.
Following are professions that end in aunty and Easter.
L thank Aunty means singer like I'm done.
They also mean singer.
OK so what I'm trying to say is.
If it's a boy I will say l come on.
If it's a girl I was a lock on but it's not changing.
All right.
As go to l football star the footballer love football is that the footballer.
And then you start the tennis player lot then he's done.
The tennis player and electric star electrician lie like the deceased the electrician LDN DEA dentist
London DEA then there's just our largest like to make it clear that Elden DEA would be male dentist
love dentist would be female dentist Elpida or this star journalists love video these star journalist
and taxis the taxi driver lab tech system female taxi driver El Como S.A. the merchant local omniscient
the female merchant eligible home there draughtsman people hunt there will be a female jobs person and
the receptionist the receptionist ladies sips Unis the receptionist female one mountain.
I hope this is clear I would just like to draw your attention to another pronunciation of the sound
of D.
In Spanish language to the deep sound is always though in Spanish and not do.
That's why we say their needs and not any style.
OK.
Same goes for the word D.
In the letter D we don't pronounce it as dope though.
That's why it's then these thar and not Dink D.
I would also like to draw your attention to the letters C over here with comments on there.
Okay.
See I is always taken as C in Spain and c in Latin America.
A person from Spain would say comet theme there and a person from Latin America would say comet C and
B C and C okay again C is more strong C is more soft.
C or would we pronounced us go.
C I as C or C the g sound in the Hunter is cut.
That's why I'm saying they will come there and not liberal junta we don't pronounce it as jaw but her
they will come.
They and that is because many Arabs had invaded Spain in the 8th century and they had left many of their
cultural aspects in Spain.
Let's look at the last words Recep Sunnis thug in the sound of C I is C as I had told you or thi saw
a person from Spain would pronounce this word as it is Sept 3 on Easter and a person from Latin America
would pronounce it as just saps your niece.
Now then there are other notes in Spanish that do not end in these endings that I just told you means
a door and an A.
It doesn't end in E.
It will not end in any vowel.
It will end in L and the s etc..
OK.
Let's look at these endings.
In this case of these nouns now in this table you will also learn whether they are male or female.
How will you know that you will know by the articles that they've written.
L It is masculine if that's all that is.
If it's law that's written in it it's feminine noun All right.
Oh and you just have to memorize all these to understand whether they are masculine or feminine.
Now let's begin.
L Sol means son love flawed means flower.
So l so it will tell you it is a mask.
No.
Now Flora will tell you it is a female because lies written board tree and are a board tree because
there's an accent on the ears while you pronounce it as audible El Cartel means post her El pop bell
means paper and outer books means bus there is an accent only you also going to stress on the you and
outlaw at the heart of being garden it has a j as I'm going to pronounce it as ha ha to be the next
word l got arcade garage OK.
Note this word has a J So I'm gonna say it her and G is pronounced as got l got off her garage land
Ruth lite.
This word has a Z and if you remember I told you Z is pronounced as though so a large loose light.
If you're in Latin America you can say use less stress stress and Boesky forest and not be Spencer.
Now the word Boesky it is ending in Q You e q you E's pronounced as gay in Spanish and not queer.
That's why I'm saying l Boesky
now than here other o nouns that you must know nice square love means school only there to see that
means university not you in Spanish would always be pronounced as oh and not you.
So that's why we're not seeing university that you say only there to see that looks Lakey or the sound
is a key of G I.
That's why we say equally Q Latin that means shop El Mercado means market Paix Look Eddie I mean saloon
Q You e is pronounced as kids I told you earlier LA Live Radio is an accent on the eyes I'm going to
stress on the I will become e r LA Live radio means stationary love w take a library Lapis GoDaddy fish
shop lock Gaza whole sea is pronounced as a Charlotte bungalow La Gran cut farm J is pronounced as CA
as one in ground car everybody or neighborhood double R in Spanish is pronounced as.
So that's why I say el barrio neighborhood enlist to the UN thing means the male student lies to the
UN means the female student and a no means the male student La Luna also means the male the female student
let's do an exercise where you can do a small recap of everything I have taught you so far.
Question 1 says Fried the correct definite article in law for the following nouns so you can always
go back if you have just forgotten something and go back to the lesson trying to understand it and then
you can do the answers because I believe in looking at the notes and then doing an exercise.
OK question 2 says read the plural form for the following nouns.
Okay I'll explain to you how to form plurals of nouns that end in E and other vowels and how to form
plurals for nouns that end in a consonant and what happens if a noun is ending in Z.
How do you form plural then everything was taught to you but nonetheless if you have just forgotten
something you can go back and write your answers down.
Take about five 10 minutes and then write answers down just I would like to repeat that do not be hesitant
to go back to your notes I just give you one example.
God though is a masculine noun because its ending in an O so it will be a lot got.
The question to how bone is ending in n.
So in order to form plural you will add.
Yes.
So it will become hub on as the rest you can do by yourself.
Now let's look at the answers for God though it will be l got though as I told you earlier cinema would
be in cinema because ending in EMEA not on cars ending in an is way I will say la not un ha Libra ending
and also a liberal LA Malaita ending in an e prophecy on ending in Iowans or LA NGO and ending in Iowa
and so I put a la Amistad ending in TADS where put la la llamas that means the friendship can see on
CIA one luck on your CIO ending force it was your loss it was you on El Sistema ending in e mails were
put El Sistema the AMA ending and e once again it will be Ultima Nene your ending and also it will be
El Nino now then a plural on threats to hub on you add is how to lean and right E is because of ending
in and popping right.
Yes because its ending in a consonant like scenario right.
S because ending in a vowel.
Now let's go where I eat sad eyes I write C S because Rice is ending in a Z when a noun ends in Z you
need to omit the Z and write C as in order to make it s plural got failed would become cut their list
ending in a consonant so I write e s but it ending in a consonant again right is Chico ending in a vowel
so I write an S after the OED becomes Chico's meaning is boys guy year mean street you form is plural
by simply adding an s after e p So becomes piece was audible becomes audible is because ending in l
I write an E is OK this is pretty easy assignment I do one thing and I don't hope that you will have
problems with this exercise it was always easy and I always recommend that you go back to your N to
do this and even when you are watching my videos I like you to take down notes so and that we don't
even have to go back because when you're doing an exercise you will have to look at your notes and then
do the exercise you will not have to go back ok.
So this is a very good chapter and articles and nouns I hope you have learned some new vocabulary and
how to form plurals and how to write articles in Spanish I would hope is clear and moreover you will
be learning you can read my other videos and you'll be also learning to write sentences and I hope you're
finding everything easy OK well done.
