The ARY / ORY Rule (Major)

This Rule applies to those words in English with two or more syllables that end in

....ary
or
....ory

To translate them into Spanish, we will substitute the ending ...ary with

...ario

Thus, the English word ordinary is the Spanish word ordinario.
and we will substitute the ending ...ory with

...orio

and the English word accesory is the Spanish word accesorio.

*You may have noticed that more of those femenine gender words creeped in - we must clear that up! Chapter Eighteen might help, if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, just read on with the rest of us!
** The word "factory" is translated above to Spanish as "factoría". This word, although correct, is rarely used. The modern usage would be "fábrica", a place where things are fabricated! (We've learned that FABRICATE translates to FABRICAR [Chapter Three]. In English of course, Fabricate means to manufacture, or make, something.
***Moratorium is also Moratorio in Spanish.
