Científica

--feedback--

Luna identifies as female, so the profession should use the feminine form. Remember to use an accent mark in the second í.


Ingeniero

--feedback--

Remember to match the profession's gender form with the speaker. Mateo uses the masculine form.


Estratega

--feedback--

This profession does not change for masculine or feminine. The form stays the same regardless of gender.

--explanation--

Professions and nationalities in Spanish must agree in gender with the person speaking, many changing its endings like so, -o - -a. For example:

  • Chileno/chilena - Chilean

  • Científico/científica - Scientist

However, some stay the same regardless of gender, like estratega de marketing.
