Usage Note

Biólogo follows the standard pattern for professional nouns: the feminine form is bióloga. As a proparoxytone (stress on the antepenultimate syllable), the accent mark is required to override the default stress rule. The field itself is la biología, and a learner asking about someone's profession might say ¿A qué te dedicas? rather than ¿Cuál es tu profesión? in informal speech.

Examples

"La bióloga estudia los arrecifes de coral."

Natural Translation

The biologist studies coral reefs.
