male
Usage Note
Masculino is used in grammatical contexts (el género masculino) as well as to describe biological sex or socially coded traits. In grammar lessons it contrasts with femenino; in everyday speech macho or varón can carry different connotations, so masculino is the neutral, formal choice.
Examples
"El sustantivo 'libro' es masculino."
Natural Translation
