Spanish Adjectives

 22 July 02:29   The Spanish accent uses adjectives in a agnate way to English and alotof additional Indo-European languages. Spanish adjectives usually go afterwards the noun they modify, and they accede with what they accredit to in agreement of both amount (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine).

    Spanish adjectives are actual agnate to nouns, and generally changeable with them. A bald adjective can yield an commodity and be acclimated in the aforementioned abode as a noun (where English would crave nominalization using the pronoun one(s)). For example:

    El rojo va aqui/aca, ?no? = The red one goes here, doesnt it?

    Hay que tirar las estropeadas = We accept to bandy abroad the torn ones.

    Agreement

    Adjectives in Spanish can mostly be disconnected into two ample groups: those that can be begin in the concordance catastrophe in o, and the others. The above about accede for amount and gender; the closing about accede just for number. Actuality are some examples:

    Frio agency cold. This is the concordance form, and it corresponds to the adult atypical form. If it agrees with a feminine noun, it becomes fria. If it agrees with a plural noun, it becomes frios. If it agrees with a noun which is both feminine and plural, it becomes frias. Actuality is a account of a few accepted adjectives in their four forms :

    Frio = cold; > frio, fria, frios, frias

    Pequeno = small; > pequeno, pequena, pequenos, pequenas

    Rojo = red; > rojo, roja, rojos, rojas

    Here are a few accepted adjectives that accede alone in number:

    Caliente = hot > caliente, caliente, calientes, calientes

    Formal = academic > formal, formal, formales, formales

    Verde = blooming > verde, verde, verdes, verdes

    The analysis into these two groups is a generalisation however. There are some examples such as the adjective espanol itself which does not end in o but about adds an a for the feminine and has four forms (espanol, espanola, espanoles, espanolas). There are aswell adjectives that do not accede at all (generally words adopted from additional languages, such as the French biscuit (also Hispanicised to beis)).
