When is it correct to use “favorite” instead of “favorite” and vice versa?
Answer 1
It was probably one of those masculine nouns that end in -a, like program, map, drama, etc. Was it “my favorite show”? That would be correct.
Or a feminine noun ending in -o, like mano.
The adjective must match the true gender of the noun, even if it does not follow the usual rule of masculine -o and feminine -a.
answer 2
Favorite is for masculine words, Favorite is for feminine words.
It all depends on the word before.
answer 3
Favorites are for male names
The favorite is for female names
answer 4
Favorite and favorite are adjectives (so they “usually” accompany a noun). In Spanish, most adjectives change according to the gender of the noun:
Nouns like film (film), canción (music), alimentar (food), alumna (student) are “feminine”: Es mi film favorite. It’s my favorite song. It’s my favorite food. You are my favorite student.
You don’t say ‘el Comida’, you say ‘la Comida’.
On the other hand, nouns like libro (book), pais (country), sobrino (nephew) or alumno (student) are “masculine”. It’s my favorite book. He’s my favorite dad. You are my favorite nephew. You are my favorite student.
You say ‘el libro’, not ‘la libro’.
To further illustrate (or complicate) this explanation, if you notice, I said “female” and “male”. This is because the name (name) is a masculine word: EL name. Thus, all the adjectives that modify it are also masculine in their ending: Los nom masculine y femeninos.
So you use favorite or favorite depending on which word they modify.
Hope this helps you!

He does not oppose it. You use “favorite” if you’re talking about something masculine and you use “favorite” if you’re referring to something feminine. I am from Argentina.

You are right, but keep in mind that when there are two nouns (one feminine and one masculine) or when the noun is collective, then the adjective to be used must be masculine.
