One Form for Both Genders
Unlike many Spanish nouns, 'estudiante' uses the exact same spelling whether you are talking about a male or a female person. The gender is shown only by the article you use: 'el estudiante' (male) or 'la estudiante' (female).
Adjective Agreement
Even though the noun stays the same, any descriptive word (adjective) must change to match the person's actual gender: 'el estudiante alto' (the tall male student) vs. 'la estudiante alta' (the tall female student).
Trying to Change the Ending
Mistake: “Using forms like 'estudianta' or 'estudianto'.”
Correction: The word is always 'estudiante', regardless of the person's gender. The only thing that changes is the article ('el' or 'la').
