Turn the gaps into your vocabulary
Download the app for free Spanish vocabulary testSpanish splits what English packs into one word. Sexo covers the act, and it also covers male-or-female on a form — so far so English. But for gender as a social category Spanish now says género, and the two are kept apart in careful writing in a way English sex and gender only partly manage.
It is masculine, el sexo, and the phrase for having sex is tener sexo or, more idiomatically, acostarse con alguien — to go to bed with someone.
género gender
The social category, and also a genre and a grammatical gender. Spanish overloads it where English does not.
amor love
Hacer el amor is to make love — the euphemism works in Spanish exactly as in English.
sexi sexy
Borrowed and respelled to Spanish spelling rules, which is why it looks odd to an English eye.
