Usage notes
- When used as an adjective specifying that an animal is male, macho traditionally is invariable for both gender and number: el pollo macho "the male chicken", los pollos macho "the male chickens", la jirafa macho "the male giraffe", las jirafas macho "the male giraffes". However, some speakers use the form "machos" with plural agreement marked by adding the suffix -s to the adjective: los pollos machos, las jirafas machos.
- The feminine forms macha and machas are rare. Marimacho and masculino are used to describe masculine women.
