Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, "correo" can refer to both physical mail and email, so context is key. When dealing with packages, look for the word "internacional" on the label; it signals that customs paperwork will be required. Also, avoid mixing up "eso" (neutral) with "ese/esa" (masc./fem.) when you’re pointing to something without a clear gender.
