Editing Homophone (section)

=== Spanish ===
Although Spanish has far fewer homophones than English, they are far from being non-existent. Some are homonyms, such as ''basta'', which can either mean 'enough' or 'coarse', and some exist because of homophonous letters. For example, the letters ''b'' and ''v'' are pronounced exactly alike, so the words ''basta'' (coarse) and ''vasta'' (vast) are pronounced identically.<ref>{{Cite web |title=51 Spanish Words That Sound Exactly Like Other Spanish Words |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/some-spanish-homophones-3080303 |access-date=2022-08-27 |website=ThoughtCo |language=en}}</ref> 

Other homonyms are spelled the same, but mean different things in different genders. For example, the masculine noun ''el capital'' means 'capital' as in 'money', but the feminine noun ''la capital'' means 'capital city'.<ref>{{Cite news |title=37 Spanish Nouns Whose Meanings Change With Gender |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/doubly-gendered-basics-3079264 |access-date=2022-08-27 |website=ThoughtCo |language=en}}</ref>
