Although many Spanish words ending in '-e' can be feminine, 'masaje' is always masculine, so you must use 'el' or 'un' before it.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Incorrect Gender
Mistake: "La masaje fue muy bueno."
Correction: El masaje fue muy bueno. (Remember it's a masculine word.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Using the action verb
To talk about the action, Spanish usually uses the verb 'dar' (to give) with 'masaje': 'Voy a darte un masaje' (I am going to give you a massage).
