Galician Feminine

Learning the Galician Feminine displayed below is vital to the language. Galician feminine refers to female qualities attributed specifically to women and girls or things considered feminine. The complement to feminine is masculine.

Grammar Tips:

To form a feminine word from the masculine in Galician, you simply add (-a) if the word ends in a consonant. But if a word ends in a vowel then you need to remove the vowel before adding the “a”. Here are some examples:

Fillo (son) becomes Filla (daughter), alumno (student masc.) becomes alumna (student fem.)

Note that some words cannot change into feminine; instead a whole new word should be used, example: Home (man), Muller (woman) – Can (dog), Cadela (dog fem)
