Using 'la' instead of 'el'

Even though it ends in '-e', 'viaje' is a masculine word. Always say 'el viaje' (the trip) or 'un viaje' (a trip).

It's a Masculine Noun

Both mean 'to go on a trip'. 'Hacer un viaje' is very common for the act of taking a trip, while 'ir de viaje' often emphasizes the state of being away traveling. You can use them interchangeably in most cases.

Taking a Trip: 'Hacer un viaje' vs. 'Ir de viaje'

Extremely common. One of the first words you'll learn for talking about travel.

Using the 'Normal' Verb Form After 'Espero que'

'Viaje' is a special form of 'viajar' used after phrases that express wishes, doubts, or emotions, like 'Espero que...' (I hope that...) or 'No creo que...' (I don't think that...).

A Special Form for Wishes and Doubts

You also use 'viaje' to give a polite, formal command to one person ('usted'). For example, a travel agent might say, 'Viaje con nuestra aerolínea' (Travel with our airline).

Formal Commands

Look for trigger phrases! Words like 'espero que' (I hope that), 'quiero que' (I want that), 'es posible que' (it's possible that), and 'no creo que' (I don't think that) are big clues that you'll need 'viaje' instead of 'viaja'.

Spotting When to Use It

Common in specific situations, like expressing wishes, doubts, or giving formal commands.
