Spanish Noun: radio
Author: Johns SmithSpanish Noun: radio
Pronunciation:rah-deeoh
Translation:radio
Function:noun
Most nouns ending in ‘o’ are masculine and those ending in ‘a’ are feminine, but sometimes you have to know origins, as not all nouns are created equal…
There are exceptions, as in: ‘Foto’, ‘polio’ and ‘radio’ [Photo, polio, radio and motorcycle]. This is because they all originate in longer feminine words: ‘Fotografía’, ‘poliomielitis’ and ‘radiodifusión’.
Example:moto (from ‘motocicleta’)
Translation:motorcycle
