Did you know?
- Spanish has a growing trend of using 'e' as a gender-neutral ending for nouns, such as amigue instead of amigo or amiga, to achieve a 'unisex' effect in speech.
- To describe people who blur gender lines, Spanish speakers may use andrógino rather than unisex, as unisex is primarily reserved for objects, clothes and spaces.
- Because unisex is an English loanword, it is treated as an invariable adjective in Spanish. It does not change its ending to match masculine or feminine nouns, unlike most Spanish adjectives.
