A word with two genders
You can use either 'el' (masculine) or 'la' (feminine). While both are correct, 'el génesis' is much more common when talking about the start of something.
Always ends in S
This word naturally ends in 's', but it is singular. To make it plural, you don't add letters; you just change the word 'the' in front (e.g., 'los génesis').
Thinking it is plural
Mistake: “Los génesis es...”
Correction: El génesis es... because even though it ends in 's', it is a single concept.
