              Why is it not "eu sou velha, eu sou uma fracassa"? Is fracasso the same for males and females?

                Yes, the noun "fracasso" is masculine. The word "fracassa" exists though: "Ele fracassa" means "He fails".

                    yes, the noun "Fracasso" means failure and is male, it is the same for both genders.

                    the verb "Fracassar" means to fail. simple past: "eu fracassei, você/ele fracassou", future: "eu fracassarei, você/ele fracassará", present: "eu fracasso, você/ele fracassa".
