Adjectives
Knowing adjectives in Spanish is a powerful skill. It can make it easy to have a conversation about different topics by simply knowing some key words such as "good", "bad", "right", "wrong" etc. Adjectives are words used to describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence for example: I am happy. Spanish is easy.
Grammar Rule
- Adjectives ending in -o have four forms (~o, ~a, ~os, ~as). For example the adjective "beautiful" in Spanish: bonito (masculine), bonita (feminine), bonitos (plural masc.), bonitas (plural fem.)
- Adjectives ending in -e have two forms (~e, ~es). For example the adjective "big": grande (singular masculine and feminine), grandes (plural masc. and fem.)
- Most adjectives ending in a consonant have two forms (~e, ~es). For example the adjective "professional": profesional (singular masculine and feminine), profesionales (plural masc. and fem.)
- Unlike English, adjectives in Spanish usually follow the noun NOT preceed it. For example: una casa grande (a big house)
- In Spanish adjectives follow the form of the noun. So if the noun is singular masculine, then the adjective will also be singular masculine. Example: un libro rojo (a red book), una casa roja (a red house), dos libros rojos (two red books), dos casas rojas (two red houses).
Below is a list of 20 adjectives that you might come across or use very often. The table contains 3 columns (English, Spanish, and Audio). Make sure you repeat each word after hearing it by either clicking on the audio button or by reading the pronunciation. That should help with memorization as well as improving your pronunciation.
