In Spanish, the word ‘café’ is masculine. This means that when you use ‘café’ in a sentence, you should use masculine articles and adjectives with it. For example:
- El café está caliente. (The coffee is hot.)
- Me gusta un café fuerte. (I like a strong coffee.)
The reason ‘café’ is masculine is due to its origin and the rules of Spanish grammar. Words ending in ‘-e’ can be tricky, but many, like ‘café,’ are masculine. It’s always a good idea to learn the gender of nouns as you learn new vocabulary to avoid mistakes in your sentences.
