Unexpected Masculine Spanish Nouns


Most of the time,  Spanish nouns ending with the letter A are feminine. The exception is when the noun ends in MA, PA, or TA.  If the noun has one of these endings, there is a good chance the word is masculine. Therefore,  the following  Spanish words require masculine articles:
el tema
el planeta
el mapa

As luck would have it MA PA TA can easily be shortened  to MPT...which sounds like EMPTY......which can be associated with masculinity.
