Frequently Asked Questions
If 'música' means both 'music' (the art) and 'female musician,' how do I know which one is meant?
Context is key! If the sentence talks about a person performing or having a job, it refers to the female musician ('La música tocó en el teatro' - The musician played in the theater). If it talks about listening, studying, or genres, it refers to the art ('Me gusta la música clásica' - I like classical music).
