Cómo usarlo
The word guepardo is a masculine noun. It comes from the Italian word gattopardo, meaning 'leopard cat'. In Portuguese, it refers specifically to the cheetah, known for its incredible speed. When using this word, remember to use the correct masculine articles: o guepardo (the cheetah) or os guepardos (the cheetahs).
A common mistake is confusing guepardo with other big cats like leopardo (leopard) or onça (jaguar/ounce). While they are all felines, guepardo specifically means cheetah. Another mistake is using a feminine article, such as a guepardo, which is incorrect because guepardo is always masculine.
