Translating “young man” and “young woman” IMHO, more common masculine counterpart for "señorita" than "joven", is "caballero". At least in Spain. |

Why are certain words ending in “a” masculine? @hippietrail: it's also that all of these examples in slavic languages are "klimat, program, system, problem" etc. so not really a case of ending with "a". |

How to translate “make it count” BTW. "chance at opportunity"? Isn't that pleonasm? In Spanish both words translate to "oportunidad" |
