Frequently Asked Questions
Does 'cupón' always need an accent mark?
Only when it is singular! In 'cupón,' the stress is on the last syllable. When we make it plural ('cupones'), the stress naturally stays on that same syllable, so the written accent is no longer needed according to Spanish spelling rules.
Can I use 'cupón' for a digital discount code?
Yes! Even though the word comes from 'cutting' paper, it is perfectly fine to use it for 'código de cupón' (coupon code) when shopping online.
Is 'cupón' masculine or feminine?
It is masculine. You should always use 'el' or 'un' with it (e.g., 'un cupón barato').
