Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'generaciones' feminine, even though it refers to groups of people?
In Spanish, the gender of a noun is often determined by its ending, not the people it describes. Since the singular form 'generación' ends in -ción, it is automatically feminine, just like 'nación' (nation) or 'información' (information).
