Hitting azo

Hola,

Is the ‘hitting’ azo always in the masculine form?

I’m seeing cabezazo rather than cabezaza.

Gracias,

Hola Stuart,

indeed! we always use the augmentative with -azo, not -aza, in this case. I just added a little note about this. 

rodilla -> un rodillazo

cabeza -> un cabezazo

Gracias y saludos
