..and yet another one....

Guys..is there ever a time when a "thing" that is possessed by someone changes gender form to match the gender of the person that possesses the "thing"..... i.e.

cuerpo for male - - -cuerpa for female

I have caught people switching the noun form to match the gender of the person it belongs to but I'm pretty sure they are making mistakes.

Hmmm I don't think so! Cuerpa doesn't exist so far I know!
If you find more examples, let me know! Wink
Well, maybe you mean occupation names, like for instance:
Abogado-abogada
profesor- profesora
redactor- redactora
escritor- escritora
etc
Take care!

Hi...now it is something I hear out of of Central Americans but also pick it up in some Madrileno texts. It is limited to nouns that should me either masculine or feminine (but not both) but people change the form to match their gender. Mi cuerpa, for example. I didn't think it was correct. Thanks.

yep..there I go again...should be "la Peli" and not el peli. So...I modify my question to La/Lo and not "El/Lo."
