How to Say "catalog" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “catalog” is “catálogo” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
He pedido el catálogo de la tienda por internet.
I ordered the store's catalog online.
La biblioteca tiene un catálogo muy extenso de libros antiguos.
The library has a very extensive catalog of old books.
Netflix está ampliando su catálogo de películas españolas.
Netflix is expanding its catalog of Spanish movies.
Gender Consistency
This word is masculine. Even if you are talking about a catalog of 'flowers' (flores - feminine), the word remains 'el catálogo' because the list itself is masculine.
The Stress Mark
In Spanish, words that have the stress on the third-to-last syllable (like this one) ALWAYS have a written accent mark on that vowel.
The Missing Accent
Mistake: “Busco el catalogo de ropa.”
Correction: Busco el catálogo de ropa. Without the accent, the word sounds different and technically means 'I catalog' (the action).
Confusing with 'List'
Mistake: “Tengo un catálogo de cosas por hacer.”
Correction: Tengo una lista de cosas por hacer. Use 'lista' for simple to-do lists; use 'catálogo' for more formal, organized collections of items.
