Dictionary - English to Spanish

Male and female words in the list below are indicated by (m.) for male and (f.) for female.

i.e.: The word for ‘telephone’ is ‘teléfono’, see the below list. This has an (m.) after it and so this indicates that the word ‘teléfono’ is male.
To say ‘a telephone’ you would put 'un' in front of 'teléfono' ('un' means 'a' for male words): 'un teléfono'.
To say 'the telephone' you need to put 'el' in front of 'teléfono'('el' means 'the' for male words): 'el teléfono'.

For female words, indicated by (f.), you would use the same principle as above, but use 'una' for 'a' and 'la' for 'the'. i.e.: Look at the list below for the word for 'lamp'. The word is 'lámpara'. This word is female (f.). So, 'a lamp' would be 'una lámpara', and 'the lamp' would be 'la lámpara'.
