How this list was compiled: Own list of Spanish job words, chosen for this site on 2026-10-11, in three sets of twelve. The spelling, accent marks, feminine form and senses of every word were read that day in the Diccionario de la lengua española of the Real Academia Española (https://dle.rae.es/bombero, the same address pattern for each word), in the copies of those pages kept at web.archive.org, and the English meaning in the word's Spanish entry at Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bombero, the same pattern). The feminine form printed beside each word is the one the first dictionary's headword gives (maestro, tra; actor, triz; juez, za), and a word it marks m. y f. with one form (dentista, piloto, policía) is printed with el and la. The note after each meaning is our own wording of what those entries say. Licence: own work

Questions and answers

How do you say jobs in Spanish?

Los trabajos. El trabajo is work, or a paid job. Two more words are el oficio, which the Spanish academy's dictionary defines as a person's usual occupation, and la profesión, a job someone is paid to do.

How do you say doctor in Spanish?

El médico, or la médica for a woman. Doctor and doctora name a physician too, and the Spanish academy's dictionary notes they are often used as a form of address.

Is it el policía or la policía?

Both. La policía is the police force, and also a woman officer; el policía is a man who is an officer. The Spanish academy's dictionary marks the officer sense as masculine and feminine.

What is the feminine of actor in Spanish?

La actriz. Most job words on this list swap a final o for a, as el maestro and la maestra do, or add an a, as el pintor and la pintora do. A judge is el juez or la jueza.
