How to write message or message

The graphs / -g / and / -j / are the ones that generate the most confusion at the time of writing certain words in the Spanish language, due to their similarity in pronouncing them. That is why it is not surprising that many times we doubt whether a term should be written with 'g' or, on the contrary, with 'j', and in the following article we show you a clear example of it. We help you to solve how you write message or message, a word that we use in our day to day on numerous occasions.

message

If we look for the term 'message' in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), we note that it is registered and that it is a masculine noun that is used to refer to the following meanings:

  • "Message sent by someone to another person".
  • "Religious, moral, intellectual or aesthetic contribution of a person, doctrine or work".
  • "Content or background transmitted by an intellectual or artistic work".
  • "Official communication between the legislative power and the executive, or between two legislative assemblies".
  • "Written communication of a social political character of a community addressed to the monarch or to high dignitaries".

Examples:

  • Make sure my message arrives correctly, please.
  • The King will give the Christmas message as every year.
  • I recommend this book, it has a very deep and revealing message .

* message

On the other hand, when we introduce the term 'message' in the RAE, we can see that it is not registered in the dictionary and that the previous form is shown by having a similar script.

That is why we can say that 'message' written with 'g' is an incorrect word, and that we should always write 'message' with 'j ' when we want to refer to any of the meanings mentioned. To avoid this type of spelling errors, we recommend that you memorize the rule that states that all words finished in -aje, such as message, assembly, garage, etc., must always be written with 'j'.
