Always Masculine: 'el té'

Even though many words ending in 'e' can be tricky, 'té' is always masculine. So you'll say 'el té' (the tea) or 'un té' (a tea).

The Accent is Crucial!

The little line over the 'e' (the accent mark) is super important. It changes the entire meaning of the word. 'Té' is the drink, while 'te' means 'you'.

Confusing 'té' and 'te'

Mistake:¿Té gusta el te?

Correction: ¿Te gusta el té? (Do you like tea?). Remember: 'té' with an accent is the drink. 'Te' without an accent is about 'you'.
