Spainish Weddings

Spain

In Spain, the majority of the people get married at 30 or more age, because they are studiying or are looking for their first job.
There are a lot of Civil Weddings, but the majority go to the Church.

Hi

In Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Franch and other langauges that come from the Latin language, there are masculine words and feminine words… It’s difficult for an American for example to understand why “chair” would be feminine for example and “car” masculine… so according to the “gender” of the word, the article “the” is either femine or masculine.. “la casa” or “lo avion” in spanish (the house, the plane) or “a casa” or “o aviao” in portuguese for example…

When referring to Latin people however, we can use both “Latino” (masculine) or Latina (feminine) depending on the person’s gender…

So in this case, J Lo is a Latina, Ricky Martin is be a Latino :-)

So it’s really difficult for me!Masculin and Feminin!Trust me that’s much more difficult than a chinese puzzle!

In China,women do not change their name after married.

A child usually gets his surname from his father,but sometimes from the mother,that depends on parents themselves.
