It's Always Feminine!

Even though 'foto' ends in '-o', it's a feminine word. This is a very common exception you should memorize. Always say 'la foto' for one and 'las fotos' for more than one.

Short for 'Fotografía'

'Foto' is the short, and much more common, version of the word 'fotografía'. You can use 'foto' and 'fotos' in almost any situation, from casual chat to a formal presentation.

Using 'el' or 'los'

Mistake:Me gustan *los* fotos que tomaste.

Correction: Me gustan *las* fotos que tomaste. Because 'foto' is feminine, any words describing it (like 'the' or 'some') also need to be feminine.
