Usage Note

Tassista belongs to the common-gender -ista class: the form is the same for male and female, but the article changes — il tassista (m), la tassista (f). The plural follows accordingly: i tassisti (m/mixed), le tassiste (f). This pattern is shared by many profession nouns: giornalista, musicista, barista.

Examples

"Il tassista conosceva ogni angolo della città."
