I haven’t been online for a good while. The internet has been terribly slow.
Anyway, here I bring you a short lesson about how adjectives work in Spanish.
In Spanish language adjectives come after the noun they are modifying.
For example:
El libro rojo The red book
La ruta corta The short route
El oso grande The big/large bear
Sometimes you can place the adjective in front of the noun and it will still be acceptable. Though some adjectives when placed in front of the noun, however, will have a different nuance, such as the word pobre which means poor, but also unfortunate or pathetique in nuance. For example El pobre hombre The poor/unfortunate man; El hombre pobre The poor(not rich) man.
Here are some adjectives for you to practice! ?
1) rápido fast
2) lento slow
3) agresivo aggressive
4) triste sad
5) alegre happy
6) trabajador (feminine trabajadora) hard-working
7) delgado thin
8) grueso thick, fat
9) azul blue
10) rojo red
11) verde green
12) anaranjado orange (color)
And some nouns too:
1) El libro The book
2) El carro The car
3) El lápiz The pencil
4) El gato The cat
5) La mujer The woman
6) El hombre The man
7) La libreta The notebook
8) El perro The dog
9) El lagarto The lizard
10) La niña The girl
11) El niño The boy
12) La bicicleta The bicycle
This is it for now! I hope this short lesson is helpful and simple.
Until next time ?
