artista
/aɾˈtista/ · A2 · noun · mf
artist
🎨🎭 artista = art + -ista (person who does it), like English artist
The suffix -ista marks a person by their trade, matching English -ist: pianista, dentista, turista. It ends in -a for everyone, so only the article changes: el artista, la artista. Also covers performers and entertainers.
