Question
how do you say boy, and girl in spanish. how do you write that to.  

Answer
Hi Cori,
Boy is niņa, and girl is niņo. These are both spelled with a tilde pronounced "tildee" which is the squiggly line above the "n". On a Mac computer, you press the option key simutaneously with the N key, then press the N key again to get the N with the tilde.
