But in Spanish we would be specific, and the possessive adjective will have to match the gender:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Esta gata m\u00eda (hembra):<\/strong> <em>esta<\/em> gata <em>m\u00eda<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Este gato m\u00edo (macho):<\/strong> <em>este<\/em> gato <em>m\u00edo<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Estas gatas m\u00edas (hembras):<\/strong> <em>estas<\/em> gatas <em>m\u00edas<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Estos gatos m\u00edos (machos):<\/strong> <em>estos<\/em> gatos <em>m\u00edos<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Como de costumbre, al espa\u00f1ol le gusta especificar <strong>sexo y n\u00famero<\/strong> all the time. It\u2019s not the most practical, but it\u2019s not too hard to learn. In this case,<em><strong> -o<\/strong><\/em> para <strong>hombre<\/strong>,<em><strong> -a<\/strong><\/em> para mujer <em>\u2013<strong>s<\/strong><\/em> para <strong>plural<\/strong>.
