La 'selfie'
LOS ‘SELFIES’ Y LAS POSIBLES SECUELAS MENTALES
Is the article 'los', used with the word 'selfies', incorrect here? Should it be 'las', as it refers to 'una foto'? In the same text, the writer uses, 'la' with 'selfie': “Prestar demasiada atención a las fotografías publicadas, controlando quién las mira o a quién le agrada o quién comenta, con la esperanza de lograr la mayor cantidad posible de ‘me gusta’ es un síntoma de que las ‘selfies’ están causando un problema”, declara la especialista Panpimol Wipulakorn, del departamento tailandés para la salud mental. |

el selfie
los selfies Since most neologismos enter into Spanish with a masculine gender, it shouldn't be any surprise that this word is considered masculine ... la selfie las selfies But wait, it seems that both genders may be used according to this article. Two Spanish words that mean the same thing are un autorretrato and una autofoto. Maybe that is why no one can pin the word down to only one gender. ![]() The article also mentions the Spanish word selfi, without the final 'e'. This, it claims, is not an anglicismo. This word also sports a dual gender. The plural is selfis. Interesting. ![]() Last edited by Rusty; June 08, 2015 at 03:10 AM. |
