📌

Nature, culture and learning — el mar (sea), la noche (night), la montaña (mountain), el caballo (horse), el papel (paper/role), la canción (song), la pregunta (question), el problema (problem — masculine!), el rey (king), el curso (course/academic year).

🔧

Don't be tricked by -a endings — el problema is masculine despite ending in -a — it comes from Greek. Same pattern: el programa, el idioma, el sistema, el tema. Always un gran problema, never una gran problema. El papel can mean paper (material) or role: jugar un papel importante (to play an important role).
