Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'panorama' masculine if it ends in 'a'?

Spanish has a group of words ending in -ma (like drama, sistema, and problema) that come from Greek. These words are almost always masculine.

What is the difference between 'paisaje' and 'panorama'?

'Paisaje' is the landscape itself (the trees, the mountains), while 'panorama' refers more to the wide, sweeping view you get from looking at that landscape.

Can I use 'panorama' to describe a movie plot?

Not really. Use 'resumen' (summary) or 'sinopsis' for a plot. Use 'panorama' for a general overview of a situation or a wide physical view.
