# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
is one of the two Spanish verbs that mean "to be" (is the second verb). Ser and estar are some of the most commonly used verbs in Spanish. Although they both mean " to be," they are used in different contexts.

The verb estar is irregular, meaning it does not follow a common conjugation pattern. This article includes estar conjugationsin the present, past, conditional and future indicative, the present and past subjunctive, the imperative, and other verb forms.

Using the Verb Estar

Estar is often used to talk about temporary states of being. For example, Ella está triste porque recibió malas noticias (She is sad because she received bad news). It is also used to talk about the location of a person or thing. For example, El doctor no está en su oficina porque hoy está en su casa (The doctor is not in his office because today he is at his home). Another use of the verb estar is as an auxiliary verb followed by the gerund in the present progressive construction. For example, El niño está jugando con sus juguetes (The boy is playing with his toys).

Estar Present Indicative

The present form of the verb estar means that the verb is expressing an action that is happening now or is current. Indicative means the verb is a statement of fact. In Spanish, this is called the presente del indicativo; for example, "How can I tell if I am speaking with a bot?" or ¿Cómo puedo saber si estoy hablando con un bot? In English, the present indicative form of estar is "am/is/are."

Estar Preterite Indicative

The preterite indicative form is used for past actions that are completed. In Spanish, this is called the . For example, "They were also in the family photo," is translated to Ellos también estuvieron en la foto familiar. In English, the preterite indicative form of estar is "were."

Estar Imperfect Indicative

The imperfect indicative form, or in Spanish, is used to talk about a past action or state of being without specifying when it began or ended. It is often equivalent to "were" in English. For example, "He proposed marriage to her while they were on a roller coaster," is translated to Él le propuso matrimonio mientras estaban en una montaña rusa. In English, the imperfect indicative form of estar is "used to be."

Estar Future Indicative

The future indicative form, or in Spanish, is used to tell what will or shall happen. It means "will be" in English. For example, Creed lo que os digo, y estaráis seguros, means "Believe what I tell you, and you will be safe."

Estar Periphrastic Future Indicative

The periphrastic future is formed with the present tense conjugation of the verb (to go), followed by the preposition a and the infinitive of the verb. For example, Mañana a esta hora voy a estar en Madrid, means "Tomorrow at this time I am going to be in Madrid."

Estar Present Progressive/Gerund Form

The gerund, or gerundio in Spanish, refers to the "-ing" form of the verb. In Spanish the gerund can function as an adverb. To form the gerund, like in English, all words take on the same ending, in this case, the "ing" becomes -ando. E star becomes estando. For example, "This is what you should do while being pregnant," translates to, Esto es lo que debes hacer estando embarazada. Estando is also called the present participle, which is used for progressive forms such as the present progressive. However, the auxiliary verb for the present progressive is also the verb estar, and therefore the progressive form is never used with estando, since it would yield a redundant expression like está estando.

Present Progressive of Estar: está estando

She is being -> Ella está estando muy triste por la noticia.

Estar Past Participle

The past participle corresponds to the English -en or -ed form of the verb. It is created by dropping the -ar and adding -ado. The verb, estar, becomes estado. The past participle is used in compound tenses such as the present perfect. For example, "We have been in your situation," translates to Nosotros hemos estado en tu situación.

Present Perfect of Estar: ha estado

Has been -> Ella ha estado triste por la noticia.

Estar Conditional Indicative

The conditional indicative form, or el condicional, is used to express probability, possibility, wonder or conjecture, and is usually translated into English as would, could, must have or probably. For example, "Some of them would be happy if the murderer were to die," would translate to Algunos de ellos estarían felices si muriera el asesino.

Estar Present Subjunctive

The present subjunctive, or presente de subjuntivo, functions much like the present indicative time-wise, except it deals with mood and is used in situations of doubt, desire, or emotion, and is generally subjective. Use the present subjunctive when you want a subject to do something. For example, "I hope you are prepared," would be Espero que tú estés preparada.

Estar Imperfect Subjunctive

The imperfect subjunctive, or imperfecto del subjuntivo, is used as a clause describing something in the past and in situations of doubt, desire, or emotion, and is generally subjective. For example, "If I were in your place, I'd do the same thing," which translates to, Si yo estuviera en tu lugar, haría lo mismo.

There are two different ways of conjugating the imperfect subjunctive, shown in the tables below.

Option 1

Option 2

Estar Imperative

The imperative, or imperativo in Spanish, is used to give commands or orders. Since a person orders others, the first person is not used. In the tables below you can find both the positive and negative commands. However, it is not very common to use commands with the verb estar, so some of the examples below may sound awkward.

What is an article in Spanish? Artículo Definido e Indefinido

An article is a word that is used with a noun (person, animal, thought or thing) to help define it. In English, the definite article is "the" and the indefinite articles are "a/an", depending on the noun.

The same concept applies in Spanish. However, the difficulty comes from having to remember gender because the gender of the article must match the gender of the noun.

Just like English, Spanish has a definite and an indefinite article and the concept remains the same.

Whats is difference between the definite article and the indefinite article?

The difference between the definite article and the indefinite article is that the former talks about a specific noun, and the latter talks about a generalized noun.

As you can see, the definite article " the" describes the specific blue bike, while the indefinite article "a" describes a bike in general.

Definite and Indefinite Articles in Spanish

The definite article is used to refer to something specific. In English the article would be 'the'. In Spanish, you have 4 options depending on the gender and the number.
Examples:

1. la naranja - I want the orange. In this instance, we are referring to one orange, so we use the singular form and is feminine, so the correct definite article to use is 'la'.

2. El cielo - the sky is blue. In this case we are referring to the sky as a whole and therefore use the singular for and cielo is masculine, so the correct definite article is 'el'.

3. Los libros - the books are red. In this instance we are still talking about something in particular, but there is more than one so we use the plural form of the noun and the corresponding plural form article, so the correct definite article is 'los'. Note also that the adjective changes from singular to plural to correspond with the noun.

4. Las camisetas - the shirts are black. Again, here you see we are talking about more than one short so we use the plural form of the noun and corresponding plural form of the article, 'las'.

Of course, most rules have exceptions and this rule is no different.

When a feminine and singular noun begins with a stressed á, a, or ha, the masculine definite article is used instead, to aide in pronunciation. When the same noun is plural, the regular feminine article is used.

When you use the indefinite article, you are not referring to a specific person or thing. The English indefinite articles are 'a', 'an' or 'some' and as with the definite article, you have 4 options depending on the gender and the number.
Examples:

1. una galletita - I want a biscuit. In this instance, it's not a specific biscuit. It could be any sort of biscuit and I only want one. Galletita is feminine, so we use the 'una' as the indefinite pronoun.

2. Quiero leer un libro - I want to read a book. 'Un' is the indefinite article as libro is singular and masculine.

3. Mi novio compró unas flores - My boyfriend bought (some) flowers. 'Unas' was used because flores is plural and feminine.

4. unos lápices para mis clases - I need ( some) pencils for my classes. 'Unos' was used because lápices is plural and masculine.

Consider this:
The definite article 'el' is different to the pronoun 'él' which means he. "Él" will always appear on its own but "el" will always be followed by a noun. Look at the following sentence:

Él compró el diario hoy. He bought the paper today.

The verb ser is one of the two Spanish verbs that mean "to be." The other one is the verb The verb ser is irregular, meaning it does not follow a common conjugation pattern. In fact, ser is one of the most irregularly conjugated verbs in Spanish. Many of the conjugated forms don't even begin with s, and some forms are shared with the highly irregular verb (to go).

This article includes the ser conjugations in the present, past, conditional and future indicative, the present and past subjunctive, the imperative, and other verb forms.

Using the Verb Ser

Ser and estar are some of the most commonly used verbs in Spanish. Although they both mean " to be," they are used in very different contexts. Ser is often used to talk about inherent or permanent characteristics. For example, Ella es alta e inteligente (She is tall and smart). It is also used to talk about someone's profession or occupation, as in Ella es doctora y él es arquitecto (She is a doctor and he is an engineer), or to talk about where someone is from, as in El profesor es de Puerto Rico (The professor is from Puerto Rico).

Ser can be used to talk about what something is made of, as in La puerta es de madera (The door is made of wood), or to talk about the location of an event, such as a meeting, party, festival, etc. For example, La reunión es en la oficina del doctor (The meeting is in the doctor's office).

This verb is also used to talk about belonging. For example, La casa es de Alberto (The house is Alberto's). Another use of the verb ser is in the passive voice, followed by the present participle, as in La tarea es hecha por el estudiante (The homework is done by the student).

Yet another use of the verb ser is with impersonal expressions, such as Es necesario trabajar duro (It is necessary to work hard).

Notice that in Spanish we do not use the verb ser to talk about someone's age like we do in English (She is ten years old), but instead we use the verb tener to talk about how many years someone has ( Ella tiene diez años).

Ser Present Indicative

The conjugations for ser in the present indicative tense are totally irregular. The first person singular conjugation soy is similar to other verbs like dar (doy), estar (estoy) and ir (voy).

Ser Preterite Indicative

The preterite tense conjugations of ser are also irregular, since they do not resemble the infinitive ser at all. Note that these conjugations are the exact same conjugations for the preterite indicative tense of the verb ir (to go). From context, you would be able to tell if you are talking about being or going.

Ser Imperfect Indicative

Ser is one of the few verbs that are irregular in the imperfect tense, since it does not use either of the usual imperfect conjugation endings ( ía or aba). Remember that the imperfect tense can be translated as "was being" or "used to be."

Ser Future Indicative

The future indicative tense is conjugated regularly, since you can start with the infinitive ( ser) and add the future tense endings ( é, ás, á, emos, áis, án).

Ser Periphrastic Future Indicative

The periphrastic future is formed with three components: the present indicative conjugation of the verb ir (to go), the preposition a, and the infinitive ser.

Ser Present Progressive/Gerund Form

The gerund or present participle is formed with the stem of the verb and the ending -iendo (for -er and -ir verbs). It can be used to form progressive tenses like the present progressive, which is usually accompanied by the auxiliary verb

Ser Past Participle

The past participle is used to form perfect tenses like the present perfect, which is formed with the auxiliary verb and the past participle sido.

Ser Conditional Indicative

The conditional tense is normally translated to English as "would + verb." It is formed regularly like the future tense, by starting with the infinitive form and adding the conditional endings.

Los artículos siempre deben concordar en género y número con el sustantivo al que acompaña.

*Excepciones: cuando un sustantivo singular femenino empieza por "a" o "ha" tónica, colocamos el artículo definido "el". Sin embargo, seguimos utilizando el artículo femenino indefinido "una".

El artículo definido posee también una forma neutra "LO", que se utiliza acompañando a adjetivos, adverbios, pronombres posesivos o participios para transformarlo en sustantivos abstractos:

Introduction

Personal pronouns, or l os pronombres personales, identify the subject or object of a verb, whether they are people, animals or things. We can use them to replace a previously-mentioned noun, speak about ourselves, or address other people. The type of pronoun we use depends on the function of that noun in a sentence i.e. subject or object.

Learn how to use Spanish personal pronouns and the difference between prepositional, indirect and direct object pronouns with Lingolia. Then practise in the exercises.

Example

Overview of Spanish Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns identify the participants in a discussion. Use the first person to refer to the speaker, the second person to the listener, and the third person to someone outside the conversation.

Personal pronouns in Spanish can act as the subject or object of a verb (i.e. who performs the action, who receives it, etc.). Depending on their function, pronouns take on different forms. The table below provides an overview of Spanish personal pronouns. Note that the third person singular and all plural pronouns have different forms for masculine and feminine.

* Usted and ustedes are formal. They are used to show respect to a conversation partner in Spanish. They can be used in singular and plural together with a verb conjugated in the third person.

voseo

In many Latin-American countries, the pronoun vos is used with the conjugation of the 2 nd person plural instead of the pronouns tú, vosotros and usted/ustedes. This phenomenon is known as voseo. There are different ways of conjugating the verb in different regions.

Example:

tú cantas → vos cantás

usted come → vos comés

How to use personal pronouns in Spanish

Subject pronouns

The Spanish subject pronouns, or los pronombres personales de sujeto, are summarized in the table below:

Sometimes personal pronouns can be used as an attribute as well as a subject in sentences with verbs like ser, estar and paracer be, seem .

Example:

Yo soy yo.I am who I am. (yo = attribute)

Since the conjugated verb endings in Spanish grammar already indicate person and number, subject pronouns can be left out.

Example:

Yo tengo una novia./Tengo una novia.I have a girlfriend.

However, there are still some cases when it is necessary to use a subject pronoun:

to emphasise the subject

Example:

Ella es la que es muy simpática.She is the one who's very nice.

when a pronoun is used without a verb

Example:

¿Quién canta canciones? - Yo.Who sings songs? - Me.

in comparisons after que

Example:

Mi novia es más alta que yo.My girlfriend is taller than me.

before certain words such as a, mismo, también, tampoco

Example:

Yo mismo no puedo dejar de cantar mis canciones.I myself can't stop singing my songs.

Direct object pronouns

The direct object, or complemento directo, is necessary to the meaning of a verb. Verbs that take a direct object are known as transitive verbs. Direct objects can be objects or people.

Info

The masculine form of the third person direct object pronoun is lo. However, le is also used in some regions of Spain when talking about a person. Many Latin American countries do not accept this usage.

Example:

A Javi no lo/le he invitado a la fiesta.I haven't invited Javi to the party.

The following things can help you to identify the direct object in a sentence and help you to use the correct direct object pronoun:

Example:

Me como una manzana. → Me la como.I eat an apple. → I eat it.

The direct object usually refers to objects that do not need a preposition. We use the preposition a in front of a direct object pronoun when the verb refers to a person or an animal.

Example:

Estoy esperando a mis padres. → Los estoy esperando.I'm waiting for my parents. → I'm waiting for them.
No encuentro a mi gato. → No lo encuentro.I can't find my cat. → I can't find him.

Common verbs that often take a person as their direct object are: echar de menos, esperar, invitar, llamar, querer, etc.to miss, to wait for, to invite, to call, to love

Example:

Echo mucho de menos a Marta. → La echo mucho de menos.I really miss Marta. → I really miss her.

¿Invitamos a Pablo también? → ¿Lo invitamos también?Shall we invite Pablo as well? → Shall we invite him as well?

The direct object of an active sentence becomes the subject when the sentence is in the passive.

Example:

Me como la manzana. I eat an apple. (active)

La manzana es comida por mí.The apple is eaten by me. (passive)

Indirect object pronouns

The indirect object, or the complemento indirecto, refers to the recipient of the action expressed by the verb, and is always a living thing.

*When a sentence includes a direct object pronoun (lo/la/les/las) and an indirect object pronoun (le/les), the indirect object pronoun is changed to se to avoid confusion.

Example:

Ya se la he dado. (not: Ya le la he dado.)I've already given it to them.

But:

Ya les he dado la noticia.I've already given them the message.

Position of direct and indirect object pronouns

In Spanish, direct and indirect object pronouns have a specific place in sentences:

They come before the verb in all tenses.

Example:

Susan me conoce desde hace años.Susan has known me for years. (direct object)
Me encanta cantar canciones.I love singing songs. (indirect object)
La guitarra me la regaló mi madre.My mother gave me the guitar. (indirect object, direct object)

If a sentence contains a direct object pronoun and an indirect object pronoun, the indirect object pronoun always comes first.

Example:

¿Quién te ha regalado la guitarra? - Me la regaló mi madre.Who gave you the guitar? - My mother gave it to me.

In sentences that contain a gerund or an infinitive, the pronoun can come at the beginning or it can follow the gerund/infinitive. When the pronoun comes before the verb we call them enclitic pronouns.

Example:

Quiero cantar otra canción. → La quiero cantar./Quiero cantarla.I want to sing another song. → I want to sing it.

When the verb is placed at the end of the gerund or infinitive we sometimes have to add an accent to the verb to maintain the pronunciation.

Estoy cantando canciones. → Las estoy cantando./Estoy cantándolas.I'm singing songs. → I'm singing them.

In imperative sentences, the personal pronoun comes after a positive imperative verb and before a negative imperative verb.

Example:

¡Canta las canciones otra vez! → ¡Cántalas otra vez!Sing the songs again! → Sing them again! (negative imperative)

Two pronouns that begin with l- cannot follow each other. If a sentence contains one of the direct object pronouns lo, las, los or las together with one of the indirect object pronouns le or les, the indirect object pronoun becomes se to avoid confusion.

Example:

Canto canciones a mi novia. → Se las canto.I sing songs to my girlfriend. → I sing them to her. (not: Le las canto)

Prepositional pronouns

Personal pronouns are often used before a preposition. The table below provides an overview of the prepositional forms of the Spanish personal pronouns as well as example sentences.

Prepositional pronouns are used in the following cases in Spanish grammar:

after a preposition (a, con, hacia, para, por, sobre, sin etc.).to, with, towards, for, on, without etc.

Example:

Escribo canciones para ella.I write songs for her.
Escribo canciones para tí.

after the preposition a to emphasise who the verb is referring to (direct or indirect object)

Example:

A mí me conoces muy bien.You know me really well. → "a mí" emphasises the direct object (me)
A mí me cantan canciones todas las mañanas.I sing songs every morning. → "a mí" emphasises the indirect object (me)

The pronouns mí and ti have special forms when used with the preposition con: conmigo and contigo.

Example:

Me encanta escuchar música contigo.I love listening to music with you.

Exceptions:

The subject pronouns yo and tú are used after the following prepositions: entre, excpto. incluso, menos, salvo, según.

Example:

Entre tú y yo, no tengo ganas de ir a la fiesta.Between you and I, I don't feel like going to the party.
Según tú, mañana lloverá.According to you it's going to rain tomorrow.

Los artículos en español son monosílabos que determinan, señalan y/o identifican a los sustantivos. El artículo siempre precede al sustantivo y concuerda con el mismo en cuanto a género y número.

Los artículos se dividen en dos grupos:

Los artículos definidos o determinados, según la Real Academia, son aquellos que definen o determinan a un sustantivo previamente destacado. Este identifica al sustantivo, limitándolo en un sentido general.

Al contrario de los artículos definidos, los indefinidos refieren a sustantivos indeterminados que el interlocutor no puede identificar porque no posee un conocimiento previo sobre los mismos.

En algunos casos, las preposiciones y al combinarse con el artículo definido singular se contraen de la siguiente manera:
Actividad Decide si las siguientes oraciones necesitan un artículo definido o uno indefinido según el contexto:

1. _____ auto es de mi hermano.

2. Mi familia tiene ______ caballos en el establo.

It was useful for me because I got to physical see how to pronounce the Spanish alphabet and how it is written. This will help future Spanish speakers with pronunciation if they know the letters but not how to say them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are 27 letters in the Spanish alphabet. That's one more than the English alphabet, with the letter " ñ " being the additional one found only in Spanish.

All the other 26 letters that are in the English alphabet are also represented in the Spanish alphabet, but with different names and pronunciation.

In Spanish, the alphabet is called the "abecedario." Below you will find all 27 letters, along with an example word. Click on a letter or example word to hear the pronunciation.

Past Changes to the Spanish Alphabet

If you've studied Spanish in the past you may recall that there used to be more letters in the alphabet. In 2014 the Spanish Royal Academy removed the "ch" and "ll" letters from the Spanish alphabet.

They are provided below as examples, though you should no longer consider them separate letters. These combinations of letters and the sounds they produce are still used in the language, of course, but they are no longer considered separate letters.

The Mystery of the "rr"

The double "r" (rr) in Spanish is somewhat of a mystery to many people. When two r's appear together in Spanish they mandate that the sound be changed to what is called a "rolling r," where the tongue produces a vibrating "r" sound. However, the "rr" is not a letter in the alphabet.

A good example of the "rolling r" sound in Spanish is the word " perro." Notice the slight vibration in the "r" sound when spoken.

You can practice the "rr" sound more by using the oral exercise lesson, Consonant: RR.

At BaseLang, we have helped thousands of people learn Spanish, and many of our students share the same motivation for learning Spanish: Travel.

Whether you already have the travel bug, or you're dreaming of one day buying a plane ticket and scratching that travel itch, learning Spanish is a no-brainer.

Not only will you be able to immerse yourself in a new culture and connect with Spanish speaking locals, but you'll also have a list of 21 official Spanish speaking countries to add to your travel bucket list.

(Ok, we're not recommending that you should travel to each country on the list, but you get the point.)

How Many People Speak Spanish?

According to Instituto Cervantes, 437 million people speak Spanish as a native language, making it the second most spoken language in the world behind Chinese which has 1.2 billion speakers, and ahead of English which has approximately 360 million native speakers.

Not to mention the fact that Spanish is continuing to grow in traditionally non-Spanish speaking countries.

Let's take the United States, for example, where Hispanics account for 18% of America's population, and are projected to make up 28% by 2060, according to the United States Census Bureau.

Today more than 41 million people in the USA speak Spanish as a first language, which means that there are more Spanish speakers in the United states than there are in Spain.

In fact, predict that by 2050, the United States will overtake Mexico and become the number one Spanish speaking country in the world.

Ay caramba.

21. Equatorial Guinea

Population: 1,313,894.

The final Spanish-speaking country is located in.......AFRICA.

(Yes, it also took us by surprise.)

67.6% of the population in Equatorial Guinea speak Spanish, while French, Fang and Bubi are also spoken. It's situated on the Atlantic Coast in central Africa.

Despite boasting a terrain that features plains, valleys, rainforests and volcanoes, it seems like tourism hasn't quite taken off, with Equatorial Guinea said to be 6th least visited country in the world.

While there isn't a whole pile of available information on traveling there, Equatorial Guinea is currently categorized as Level 1 (ie. exercise normal precautions) by the US Travel Advisory, which means it pretty safe to travel.

Additionally, this travel post offers useful tips on staying safe if you decide to visit.

Finally, here is a clip of an Equatorial Guinea local speaking (in Spanish, of course) about art and culture in her country.

Bonus Country: Philippines

Population: 106,512,074.

Ok, while the Philippines isn't officially a Spanish speaking country these days, this wasn't always the case.

Up until 1987, Spanish was a co-official language of the Philippines, along with English.

Although the language is on the decline since the change, Philippine Spanish (a variant of standard Spanish) is still popular with many locals continuing to speak it, and schools continuing to teach it.

Which means you may find pockets of Spanish speakers if you ever travel around the Philippines.

And if not, just hit the beaches.

The fastest way to learn the Spanish alphabet is to know what each letter actually sounds like and more than anything, what each letter sounds like to an English-speakers. For instance the letter 'i' in Spanish sounds exactly like the letter 'e' in English, a simple fact that can help anyone remember how to say 'i' in Spanish. By using this kind of comparative English/Spanish approach we've had great success in our Fluenz language learning programs.

The 'abecedario' or Spanish alphabet includes all the 26 letter of the English alphabet, plus the 'ñ', a letter that plays a key role in the pronunciation of lots of Spanish words.

spanish alphabet

The majority of the letters in Spanish have their own special names and people use them all the time when spelling out words. Below you'll find all 27 letters of the 'abecedario' and their names, along with an example word for each and the pronunciation using English sounds.

a

a

Sound: 'AH' as in 'MarthA'
'amarillo' = yellow
ah-mah-REE-joh
*the syllables in caps are pronounced with emphasis.

b

be

Other names: be larga or be alta
Sound: 'B' as in 'Boyfriend'
'biblioteca' = library
bee-bleeoh-TEH-kah

g

ge

Sound: 'G' as in 'Gondola'
'gato' = cat
GAH-toh
Or an 'H' as in 'Hawk', before 'i' and 'e'
'Gigante' = giant
hee-GAHN-teh

h

hache

This is a silent letter!
'hacer' = to do / make
ah-sEHr
It is only pronunciated when placed after a 'c'. It is the same sound in English: 'charming'
'chícharo' = pea
CHEE-chah-roh

r

erre

Sound: a single 'r' is different from a double 'r'. The first one sounds very similar to the 'd' in 'Adam' or the 't' in 'atom'
'María'
Mah-dEE-ah

A double 'r' however is a vibrant sound, a rolling 'r', as when you are imitating a motorcycle: vrrroooom! There isn't a similar sound in English and you have to train your muscles to get it right.

'cerro' = hill
SEH-rroh

w

uve doble or doble uve or doble ve or doble u

Same as in English:
'wifi' = Wi-Fi

Is it possible to speak a language without using any adjectives? Well, it is, but if you did, you would lose so much meaning. It would be like eating a flavorless meal; sure, you ingest food and all of its nutrients, but do you actually enjoy it? Not much, surely. Adjectives might not be essential for all kinds of communication, but they're still very important and bring more meaning to your words.

1. How Do Spanish Adjectives Work?

Before we continue on with our top 100 list, it's prudent that we go over the basic Spanish adjectives rules. Understanding Spanish adjectives is far more important than knowing them only by rote!

Spanish Adjectives Placement

In Spanish, we generally find adjectives after a noun, the opposite of where you find them in English. For example, un coche verde means "a green car," but if we translated it literally, it would be "a car green," which sounds really weird in English.

However, there are exceptions, for various reasons. For example, it's common in literature to find the adjective before the noun, and you can also do this yourself when you want to emphasize the noun: una bonita flor is "a beautiful flower."

Another common way of using an adjective works the same way as in English, and that is when it follows this structure: noun + "to be" verb + adjective. For example: El coche es verde means "The car is green." Nevertheless, as you might already know, Spanish has two different verbs that can translate to the English verb "to be," which are ser and estar. A true nightmare for a Spanish learner, as some might say.

We're going to make it simple here, though. If the adjective you're using is something perceived as permanent, use the verb ser. If it's something temporary, use the verb estar.

Let's see some examples:

When you tell a girl she's pretty, you're not thinking of it as a temporary state, but as a permanent thing. This means you'll tell her something like Eres muy guapa, or "You're very pretty."

However, if what you want to tell her is that she looks good in that moment, perhaps because she's wearing a nice dress, you might say: ¡Qué guapa estás!, which would translate to "You look so pretty!" Of course, there are exceptions, but don't worry about that for now. We'll see them shortly.

Spanish Adjectives Agreement

There's something else you need to keep in mind: While adjectives in English only have one form and never change, in Spanish, they can change in a few ways. The most important variation is related to the fact that nouns can be either feminine or masculine. Because an adjective accompanies a noun, it also has a gender, and most of the important Spanish adjectives change a little bit according to its gender.

As you'll see in the examples below, all the adjectives that end in -o in their masculine form, will end in -a in their feminine form. However, there are many that end in -e (and a few others that end in different letters) that have the same form whether they're masculine or feminine. In this Spanish adjectives review, we've marked all the adjectives that do change, but you can also check this brief article on Invariable Adjectives in Spanish.

Spanish adjectives can also be singular or plural, depending on the noun they accompany, so one adjective might have up to four different forms. For example, guapo, or "handsome," has the following forms: guapo, guapa, guapos, guapas.

There's another variation that most adjectives can have, and this is something that doesn't exist in English, or at least not in the same way. When you want to emphasize an adjective, instead of saying muy ("very" ) in front of it, you can add -ísimo or -ísima at the end. If you see a very tall building, you can say it's altísimo, instead of just alto, or muy alto. If you're very very happy, you might want to say that you're contentísimo, instead of contento.

Now that you've refreshed your knowledge, it's time for our Spanish adjectives list! But if you do still need some Spanish adjectives help, why not give our MyTeacher program a try or drop us a comment below?

2. Common Spanish Adjectives for Dimensions, Sizes, Distance, etc.

Let's start with some basic adjectives, such as those to describe sizes, among others.

Meaning: "big"
Example: Esta camiseta me va grande.
Translation: "This shirt is too big for me."
Note: This adjective also has the form gran, which is only found in front of the noun and changes its meaning to "great." It's not the same to say una mujer grande ("a big woman" ) as it is to say una gran mujer ("a great woman" ). There are also some nouns that can only have this adjective in front of it. For example, "a great idea" is una gran idea.

4- estrecho/a

10- cercano/a

3. Essential Spanish Adjectives for Describing Value

We tend to say that things are good or bad, but sometimes they might be better or worse. They could be amazing, they could be wonderful, or they could be awful... Let's learn some of these adjectives!

15- maravilloso/a

16- increíble

18- malísimo/a

Meaning: "awful"
Example: Ese actor es malísimo.
Translation: "That's an awful actor."
Note: Okay, we realize that here we only added the -ísimo ending to malo, but it's just to show you that there's nothing worse than this. However, when something really sucks, we don't use an adjective; we say it's una mierda, which means "a sh*t." We might also add some swear words to that, but this isn't the right time for that.

4. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Feeling & Sense

You might also want to know how to describe how it feels to touch something. Whether it's smooth or rough, hot or cold... These adjectives always come in handy.

Meaning: "ice cold"
Example: Siempre se me quedan las manos heladas.
Translation: "My hands always get ice cold."
Note: helado also means "ice cream."

21- caliente

22- ardiente

5. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Personalities and Behaviors

We couldn't write an article about adjectives without talking about how to describe someone's personality. In this section, we've decided it would be a good idea to classify these words between positive and negative words. Some of these words aren't that easy to classify, so we realize that not all of these words are entirely negative, but we hope that's okay with you! Here are the top Spanish adjectives for personality.
Positive words
28- agradable

30- contento/a

31- educado/a

32- extrovertido/a

34- gracioso/a

36- sincero/a

37- valiente

Negative words
38- cansado/a

39- enfadado/a

40- ingenuo/a

42- maleducado/a

43- malvado/a

45- solitario/a

6. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Speed, Difficulty, Importance, etc.

54- importante

56- complicado

7. Describing Colors in Spanish

No list of adjectives would be complete without a list of colors. Here we have selected some of the most basic Spanish colors as adjectives:

57- amarillo/a

8. Describing Weather

In general, there aren't very many Spanish weather adjectives. As we saw before, we do say something is hot or cold, but not when we're talking about us feeling hot. Instead, what we say is Tengo calor (literally, "I have heat" ) or Tengo frío ("I have cold" ). If you said Estoy caliente ("I'm hot" ) you would actually be saying that you're horny, so that could be quite confusing to the person you're talking to.

On a similar note, when you want to say that the weather is hot, you won't use an adjective. You'll have to say Hace calor, which literally translates to something like "It makes heat," and you'll say Hace frío when it's cold.

Even if it's not that common, we do use some adjectives. For example, if it's a cloudy day, we can say Está nublado.

9. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Taste

We now know how to describe the feeling of touching something, so now it's time to see how to describe taste. When you eat Spanish food, we're sure you'll want to tell your host how delicious you think it is!

10. Best Spanish Adjectives for Describing Situations

73- peligroso/a

75- divertido/a

76- aburrido/a

77- imposible

11. Describing Physical Traits or Physical Condition

Meaning: "young"
Example: Eres demasiado joven para entenderlo.
Translation: "You're too young to understand it."
Note: Even though being young isn't permanent and it's only temporary, we wouldn't use the verb estar here: we use ser.

83- enfermo/a

12. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Appearance & Condition

And finally, another very common group of adjectives. These are the top Spanish adjectives to describe people's appearance.

85- atractivo/a

Meaning: "beautiful"
Example: Me parece un cuadro muy bonito.
Translation: "I think it's a very beautiful painting."
Note: We can say a girl is bonita, or a thing, or a landscape, but we don't use it to describe a boy. If we want to say a boy is good-looking, we'll use the following adjective, guapo.

93- pelirrojo/a

94- delgado/a

100- tatuado/a

This was useful to me because it helped me understand the small role prepositions in Spanish play and how easily confused one can get without them. It can be useful for future Spanish students because there are tables that help you understand said preposition used.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Where exactly do dreams come true? We'll need a few prepositions (and maybe even a prepositional phrase) to find out...

Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high

Someday, I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top

Prepositions help describe where one thing is in relation to another, in addition to describing movement, time, or providing a description of something/someone based on their location. Prepositional phrases can consist of multiple words, which, when combined, function as a preposition does.

In Spanish there are also many locuciones preposicionales, which can be thought of as "compound prepositions." Usually, prepositions answer the questions "where?" (functioning as an adverb) and "which one?" (functioning as an adjective).

These small words make a big difference. Consider the difference between these two responses:

- ¿Dónde está la araña? Where's the spider?

If you're hunting a large spider in your apartment, I imagine you'd like to know the difference.

Though Spanish allows you to express the same types of spatial (e.g., beneath, above) and temporal (e.g., before, after) relations between objects, the correlations between prepositions is not one to one. It's more like a mix-and-match between English and Spanish prepositions, with certain Spanish prepositions doing double duty (correlating to multiple English prepositions) and vice versa. In situations like the one above, it's very important to know the difference!

The Most Common Spanish Prepositions

The good news is that apart from the contraction of a and de with el ( al and del, respectively), prepositions do not change to show gender/number, etc. like many other Spanish words. This means that you can just plug the appropriate preposition into the sentence. Be aware that in Spanish, prepositions cannot come after the noun like they can in English (actually called post positions), so rather than translating word for word, you'll need to keep in mind which preposition is appropriate as well as where it belongs.

Simple (One-Word) Prepositions

Complex (Multi-Word) Prepositions

Are you en the know?

"In" may seem like the obvious translation of " en." In some cases, you can get away with using " en " in the same way as "in," while in others the usage diverges from English.

Location

As for talking about being inside of a building or a location like a park, forest, or beach, the Spanish " en" actually seems more consistent than English... We won't get into why English uses "at" for some locations, but in Spanish, you can use " en " for all of these examples:

En should also be used when talking about an event, rather than a strictly physical location.

Entramos en la fiesta. We enter the party.

Where English uses "on" or "by" to talk about modes of transport, Spanish thinks of you as being "in" the mode of transport (Yes, we are counting swings as a mode of transport!).

Time

As in English, " en " is used to talk about when something will happen:

en un minuto - in a minute en otoño - in the autumn

Describing "How"

¿En serio? Are you serious?

Subjects or Skills

When talking about subjects or fields of skills, Spanish uses en where English uses both in and at:

De: it's more than "de nada"

Apart from the phrase for "You're welcome" or more literally "of nothing/it's nothing," " de " can correspond to "of," "to," "from," and even "by" in English in the following contexts:

Ownership

los zapatos de Jose... Jose's shoes... (literally: the shoes of Jose)

Origin

Topic or "Aboutness"

un curso de física... a physics course...

una empresa de marketing... a marketing company...

Location

From Here to There

Bits and Pieces

When

Causes

What it's made of

Está hecho de seda. It's made of silk.

Though these tables of translations are helpful to draw your attention to the differences between prepositions in Spanish, the real trick is being exposed to as much Spanish as possible! After hearing prepositions paired with certain verbs, the appropriate preposition will begin to feel right in certain contexts without any explanation, just as they do in your native language. Try listening to Spanish podcasts or radio stations while on the go or comparing the use of prepositions in English and Spanish versions of short stories side by side.

"How do you say hello in Spanish?"

Well, hola. But if only it was really that simple. Think about it - how often do you really use "hello" in English?

There's a million different ways to say hi in Spanish, just like English. And each one is used in slightly different situations. By using this guide to Spanish greetings, you'll not only just know the words, but when to use them, and when not to. You'll also know how to say goodbye in Spanish, which is much simpler. We've stacked this guide with a handful of example situations to make sure you "get it".

Plus, at the end of the post, we have a slang section where we cover how to say "what's up" in the local slang for nineteen Spanish-speaking countries.

Basic Spanish Greetings

There are many ways to greet someone in Spanish, but 99% of the time, you'll use one of the eight below.

¿Qué tal?
This is an informal greeting and you can use it with your friends and family whenever. It's sort of a universal "what's up?".

Buenos días
This is a very formal way to greet somebody you don't know or somebody you respect a lot. Use it in the morning.

Buenas tardes
If you walk into a business meeting at 2:00 pm you should totally use this greeting. This is the afternoon formal greeting (It would be very weird to say good afternoon to a friend, wouldn't it?)

Buenas noches
Like buenos días and buenas tardes, this is a formal greeting. You use this at night. It's sort of the equivalent to "good evening" in English - this is just used as greeting though. To say "good night" (e.g. when going to sleep), you would typically use "descansa" (this basically means, "rest", from the verb descansar).

Buenas
Do you usually say "morning" instead of "good morning"?, if you do you'll use this greeting a lot. It has the same context and you can use it at any time of the day.

¿Cómo estás?
This is and informal way to ask somebody how they are or how they feel. If you want to be more formal you can drop the S and go with "¿Cómo está?"

¿Cómo vas?
This is another informal way to say how are you, it's also similar to ¿Qué tal?

OK, let's cover some example situations, what you would use in each case, and why.

Situation: In a Cafe

Imagine you are in a cafe and you walk in, and recognize an old friend of yours sitting in the corner. You walk over, and say... ¿qué tal?

Explanation: Because you are already friends, using "buenas" is way too formal. You could also say "hola", but that's too plain - between friends you are more likely to use something like "whats up? I haven't seen you in awhile!" in this situation. Thus, we use "¿que tal?".

Depending on what country you are in, the local slang version of this will be different. Jump to the slang section of this post to check what it is for where you are, or where you're headed.

Situation: Meeting your In-laws

Imagine you are about to have dinner with your in-laws for the first time (scary, right?), you shake hands and say... "Buenas noches" or "Buenas noches, ¿Cómo están?". When the night is over you should end it with "Que tengan buena noche", "Feliz noche" or if you plan to see them again the next day "Hasta mañana" could work as well.

Explanation: Because you are meeting them for the first time and you want to cause a good first impression you should use the most formal stuff. When you see them next time you can use "Buenas" and that'll be totally fine. Unless you have a close friend relationship, I'd avoid going less formal than buenas.

Situation: Texting somebody

You are about to start a text conversation with a friend or even with that person you like. You can say: "¿Cómo vas?" (How is it going?), "¿Cómo estás?" (how are you?) or "¿Qué tal?" (what's up?).

Explanation: These are informal and friendly expressions to greet somebody. You can also follow the conversation with the question, How is your day going? "¿Cómo va tu día?".

Basic Spanish Goodbyes

While there are many ways to say hello (as you'll see in the slang section soon), goodbye is pretty simple. Hasta luego, chao, adios, hasta mañana, and that's pretty much it.

Hasta luego
This is formal. You use it when you want to say goodbye to somebody you may see soon (or not), but you're not sure when.

Hasta pronto
This is semi-formal. If there are chances to see this person again within a couple of days you can use it otherwise it's better to use "hasta luego" or even "adiós".

Hasta mañana
It could be both formal and informal. You can use it if you are totally sure that you'll see this person the next day. You can also change the time expression for "hasta la próxima semana" which means "see you next week". Basically you can use the word "hasta" with any time expression like month (hasta el próximo mes), año (hasta el próximo año) or even a day (hasta el lunes).

Adiós
It's informal. We use it mostly as a permanent statement, which means that you don't expect to see this person soon or ever again. It's what you could expect to hear from a boyfriend/girlfriend if you break up.

Chao
This is technically Italian, but it's widely used as a very informal goodbye. It's used similar to "peace" in English. Used between friends.

Nos vemos
This literally means "we see each other", but it's more used when talking about the future. This is typically used if you know when you'll see the person, and generally that's fairly soon.

OK, time for some examples:

Situation: Talking on the phone

If you are on the phone with a friend and you are about to hang up the most common expression you can use is "chao", but if it's a more formal conversation, you better use "hasta luego".

Explanation: Chao is extremely informal and you want to use it only with close friends.

Situation: At the airport

You or somebody important to you is leaving for a couple of months or even years. This is a good time to use "adiós".

Explanation: Even though that person is not leaving for ever it's going to take a while for him/her to be back, it's sort of a long term good bye.

Situation: Leaving the office

Your work day is over and you are about to go home. Before you do that you should say your coworkers See you tomorrow "hasta mañana" or "nos vemos mañana" and if it's a friday you can say See you Monday "hasta el lunes" or "nos vemos el lunes".

Explanation: These expressions are formal and informal which means you could use them with your friends, your boss or even with somebody you just met.

Spanish Slang: Greetings in 19 Countries

You walk down the street and into the bar where you are meeting a close friend. He greets you with...

1. "brooooo, what's up?"
2. "hello, how are you?"

Which sounds better? More normal, natural?

By using the local slang, even just the local form of "what's up?" (listed for nineteen Spanish-speaking countries below), makes a huge difference.

Connor told me a story recently that illustrates this well:

"I go to the farmers market every Sunday, and get the same thing from the same guy each week - just some veg. When I first got to Medellín, I didn't know better, and just gave him a standard "buenas". But after a few weeks, I started using "qué más parce" (what's up bro), and now the exact same thing went from costing me 20,000 pesos to 9,000. It's crazy how big a difference it makes. And that's just for transactional stuff. When meeting people for the first time, you greet them in the local slang, it just makes them feel more comfortable right away."

So, here's how to say "what's up" in the local slang for nineteen Spanish-speaking countries. This isn't something we scraped from the internet - we talked to a bunch of real people in each country and asked them how it is.

Colombian Slang

If you are in Medellín, you can say "¿qué més pues?", as Paisas (people from Medellin) use "pues" (which technically means "well") almost like an "uhhhm" (that is to say, a LOT).

Venezuelan Slang

Spanish Slang

Chilean Slang

Mexican Slang

Argentinian Slang

Bolivian Slang

Costa Rican Slang

Cuban Slang

Dominican Republican Slang

To decide if an article is needed before a noun or which one to choose, ask yourself the following question:

Articles in Academic Writing

The flowchart with questions can be complemented with the classification below, in which more nuanced explanations of articles are provided. This fairly non-traditional classification comes from Caplan, N. (2015). Grammar Choices for Graduate and Professional Writers. University of Michigan Press.

Articles determine or specify whether a noun is general or specific in its references. The questions we ask to determine if the noun is general or specific are: is it all things (generic reference), one of many things (indefinite reference), or this one thing (definite reference)? Below is the detailed explanation of the three types of references.

Generic Reference

Nouns that describe a class, not an individual person or thing, have generic reference; the meaning of the noun is all of it/them. Generic reference can often be seen in general statements used to introduce, define, or summarize ideas.

Explanation

Example

Non-Count Nouns

Use no article for generic reference.

The development of a testable hypothesis is a key characteristic of good science.

Count Nouns

1. Use a plural noun (with no article). This is the most common use for generic reference.

2. Use a/an + singular noun, especially in definitions.

3. Use the + singular noun as an alternative with humans, animals, organs of the body, plants, and complex inventions. It is used only in formal contexts.

1. The process can be intensely demoralizing both for students and teachers.

2. A portfolio is a file containing samples of a child's work.

3. The basic structure of the brain is affected by the sum of the adolescent's experiences with his or her environment.

Indefinite Reference

Indefinite reference is appropriate when the reader and/or the writer do not both know the specific identity of the noun. This might be because:

it is not important (use a computer = use any computer)

not known to the writer (a further study is needed)

new to the reader (we used a new technique = the writer knows exactly which technique, but the reader does not).

The basic meaning of a noun with indefinite reference is one/some of many.

Explanation

Example

Singular Count Nouns

Use a/an for all singular count nouns with indefinite reference. Remember to use an when the next word starts with a vowel sound.

Prior to the 1940s, the teaching of ESL was not regarded as a profession in the United States.

[A profession here means "any profession" so the noun is indefinite].

Non-Count Nouns and Plural Nouns

No article is used when the non-count noun or plural noun is with an indefinite reference.

The presence of ESL students should be an important consideration for all teachers and scholars of writing because ESL students can be found in many writing courses across the United States.

Special Uses

1. Expression of quantity

2. The meaning of per

1. a number of, a piece of, a section of

2. 60 miles an hour, $200 an hour

It is important to mention that there is really difficult to identify the difference with generic reference and indefinite reference with plural and non-count nouns; however, it is not necessary since they have the same grammatical rules.

Definite Reference

A definite reference is used when the reader and writer both know or can easily find the exact meaning of the noun. Academic writers use definite reference extensively to connect ideas within and between sentences and to establish sheared knowledge with readers. All common nouns (count and non-count, singular and plural) use the for definite reference. A noun is definite if:

Explanation

Example

It has been previously identified in the text.

Payne et al. conducted their first cross foster experiment in 1998: Payne and his colleagues performed the experiment with Vidua chalybeata, the village indigobird.

[ The experiment is definite because it was introduced in the first sentence].

It is unique (if there is only one of something, it is fully identified for the reader).

Constant littering has a large negative impact on the environment.

The noun phrase includes a superlative adjective, which is necessarily unique (the first, the second, the next, the only, etc.).

The biggest problem with conducting the study was a lack of a control group.

The noun is identifiable due to a modifier or quantifier.

the U.S. government, the problem of college, the people who supported the association

The noun is part of a whole group.

The agricultural sector accounts for about one-fourth of the country's Gross Domestic Product, two-fifths of the country's exports, and half of the labor force.

Some proper nouns require definite articles, including some countries or territories that are or were comprised of smaller units.

the Atlantic Ocean, the Antarctic, the White House

the United States, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, the Soviet Union

Another rare exception to the general pattern of not using any articles with proper nouns is to suggest that a person or organization changed over time. These nouns must be qualified with a restrictive relative clause or prepositional phrase.

Europe is not today what it was when President Bush took office, and it scarcely resembles the Europe that President Bill Clinton claimed to know. [The writer distinguishes between Europe today and the Europe of the past].

Practice

Depending on how you count, there are 22 Spanish speaking countries in the world. The five most populous countries where Spanish is the official language are Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Argentina, and Peru.

The 22 Spanish Speaking Countries of the World

= CIA World Factbook, = National Geographic, = NationMaster, = Wikipedia, = Lonely Planet, = Wolfram Alpha, = If It Were My Home

The United States?

Should the United States be considered a Spanish speaking country? While English is the most widely spoken, the U.S. has no official language. The number of Spanish speakers in the U.S. currently makes it the second largest Spanish speaking country in the world (after Mexico) and it is projected to become the largest by 2050. Spanish is widely spoken along the border states of the southern U.S. and in big cities such as Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, & New York.

California's constitution specifies that all official documents be printed in both Spanish and English. New Mexico, the state with the highest percentage of Spanish speakers (47%), is also extremely bilingual.

Other Countries

In addition to the 22 countries listed above you will also find Spanish widely spoken and understood in Andorra, a tiny country nestled between Spain and France.

Many residents of the British territory of Gibraltar located at the southern tip of Spain speak Spanish as well as English because of its proximity to Spain.

Spanish is also spoken in the sparsely populated Western Sahara, a disputed territory and former Spanish colony in North Africa.

Although English is the official language of Belize (formerly British Honduras), its location in Central America makes Spanish an important language for its citizens.

Portuguese is the official language of Brazil (the only such country in Latin America) but Spanish can be understood to some degree by many Brazilians living near its borders.

Because Spain ruled the Philippines for three centuries, the country retains many Hispanic characteristics. The official language, Filipino, has absorbed a great deal of Spanish.

The twin island country of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean was a Spanish colony until England seized control in 1797. Spanish still remains an important language.

1. How Do Spanish Adjectives Work?

Before we continue on with our top 100 list, it's prudent that we go over the basic Spanish adjectives rules. Understanding Spanish adjectives is far more important than knowing them only by rote!

Spanish Adjectives Placement

In Spanish, we generally find adjectives after a noun, the opposite of where you find them in English. For example, un coche verde means "a green car," but if we translated it literally, it would be "a car green," which sounds really weird in English.

However, there are exceptions, for various reasons. For example, it's common in literature to find the adjective before the noun, and you can also do this yourself when you want to emphasize the noun: una bonita flor is "a beautiful flower."

Another common way of using an adjective works the same way as in English, and that is when it follows this structure: noun + "to be" verb + adjective. For example: El coche es verde means "The car is green." Nevertheless, as you might already know, Spanish has two different verbs that can translate to the English verb "to be," which are ser and estar. A true nightmare for a Spanish learner, as some might say.

We're going to make it simple here, though. If the adjective you're using is something perceived as permanent, use the verb ser. If it's something temporary, use the verb estar.

Let's see some examples:

When you tell a girl she's pretty, you're not thinking of it as a temporary state, but as a permanent thing. This means you'll tell her something like Eres muy guapa, or "You're very pretty."

However, if what you want to tell her is that she looks good in that moment, perhaps because she's wearing a nice dress, you might say: ¡Qué guapa estás!, which would translate to "You look so pretty!" Of course, there are exceptions, but don't worry about that for now. We'll see them shortly.

Spanish Adjectives Agreement

There's something else you need to keep in mind: While adjectives in English only have one form and never change, in Spanish, they can change in a few ways. The most important variation is related to the fact that nouns can be either feminine or masculine. Because an adjective accompanies a noun, it also has a gender, and most of the important Spanish adjectives change a little bit according to its gender.

As you'll see in the examples below, all the adjectives that end in -o in their masculine form, will end in -a in their feminine form. However, there are many that end in -e (and a few others that end in different letters) that have the same form whether they're masculine or feminine. In this Spanish adjectives review, we've marked all the adjectives that do change, but you can also check this brief article on Invariable Adjectives in Spanish.

Spanish adjectives can also be singular or plural, depending on the noun they accompany, so one adjective might have up to four different forms. For example, guapo, or "handsome," has the following forms: guapo, guapa, guapos, guapas.

There's another variation that most adjectives can have, and this is something that doesn't exist in English, or at least not in the same way. When you want to emphasize an adjective, instead of saying muy ("very" ) in front of it, you can add -ísimo or -ísima at the end. If you see a very tall building, you can say it's altísimo, instead of just alto, or muy alto. If you're very very happy, you might want to say that you're contentísimo, instead of contento.

Now that you've refreshed your knowledge, it's time for our Spanish adjectives list! But if you do still need some Spanish adjectives help, why not give our MyTeacher program a try or drop us a comment below?

2. Common Spanish Adjectives for Dimensions, Sizes, Distance, etc.

Let's start with some basic adjectives, such as those to describe sizes, among others.

Meaning: "big"
Example: Esta camiseta me va grande.
Translation: "This shirt is too big for me."
Note: This adjective also has the form gran, which is only found in front of the noun and changes its meaning to "great." It's not the same to say una mujer grande ("a big woman" ) as it is to say una gran mujer ("a great woman" ). There are also some nouns that can only have this adjective in front of it. For example, "a great idea" is una gran idea.

4- estrecho/a

10- cercano/a

3. Essential Spanish Adjectives for Describing Value

We tend to say that things are good or bad, but sometimes they might be better or worse. They could be amazing, they could be wonderful, or they could be awful... Let's learn some of these adjectives!

15- maravilloso/a

16- increíble

18- malísimo/a

Meaning: "awful"
Example: Ese actor es malísimo.
Translation: "That's an awful actor."
Note: Okay, we realize that here we only added the -ísimo ending to malo, but it's just to show you that there's nothing worse than this. However, when something really sucks, we don't use an adjective; we say it's una mierda, which means "a sh*t." We might also add some swear words to that, but this isn't the right time for that.

4. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Feeling & Sense

You might also want to know how to describe how it feels to touch something. Whether it's smooth or rough, hot or cold... These adjectives always come in handy.

Meaning: "ice cold"
Example: Siempre se me quedan las manos heladas.
Translation: "My hands always get ice cold."
Note: helado also means "ice cream."

21- caliente

22- ardiente

5. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Personalities and Behaviors

We couldn't write an article about adjectives without talking about how to describe someone's personality. In this section, we've decided it would be a good idea to classify these words between positive and negative words. Some of these words aren't that easy to classify, so we realize that not all of these words are entirely negative, but we hope that's okay with you! Here are the top Spanish adjectives for personality.
Positive words
28- agradable

30- contento/a

31- educado/a

32- extrovertido/a

34- gracioso/a

36- sincero/a

37- valiente

Check out our Top 20 Spanish Words for Positive Emotions!
Negative words
38- cansado/a

39- enfadado/a

40- ingenuo/a

7. Describing Colors in Spanish

No list of adjectives would be complete without a list of colors. Here we have selected some of the most basic Spanish colors as adjectives:

57- amarillo/a

8. Describing Weather

In general, there aren't very many Spanish weather adjectives. As we saw before, we do say something is hot or cold, but not when we're talking about us feeling hot. Instead, what we say is Tengo calor (literally, "I have heat" ) or Tengo frío ("I have cold" ). If you said Estoy caliente ("I'm hot" ) you would actually be saying that you're horny, so that could be quite confusing to the person you're talking to.

On a similar note, when you want to say that the weather is hot, you won't use an adjective. You'll have to say Hace calor, which literally translates to something like "It makes heat," and you'll say Hace frío when it's cold.

Even if it's not that common, we do use some adjectives. For example, if it's a cloudy day, we can say Está nublado.

11. Describing Physical Traits or Physical Condition

Meaning: "young"
Example: Eres demasiado joven para entenderlo.
Translation: "You're too young to understand it."
Note: Even though being young isn't permanent and it's only temporary, we wouldn't use the verb estar here: we use ser.

83- enfermo/a

12. Spanish Adjectives for Describing Appearance & Condition

And finally, another very common group of adjectives. These are the top Spanish adjectives to describe people's appearance.

85- atractivo/a

Meaning: "beautiful"
Example: Me parece un cuadro muy bonito.
Translation: "I think it's a very beautiful painting."
Note: We can say a girl is bonita, or a thing, or a landscape, but we don't use it to describe a boy. If we want to say a boy is good-looking, we'll use the following adjective, guapo.

93- pelirrojo/a

94- delgado/a

Definite and Indefinite Articles in Spanish

Definición

El artículo es la palabra que acompaña al sustantivo y siempre va delante de él. Es la palabra que funciona siempre como un determinante o identificador del sustantivo, esto es, señala si el sustantivo es conocido o no, e indica el género (femenino o masculino) y el número del sustantivo (singular o plural).

Los artículos se dividen en definidos (o determinantes) e indefinidos (o indeterminantes).

Los artículos definidos son aquellos que hablan de algo conocido y que se puedes identificar.

Los artículos indefinidos son aquellos que hablan de algo no conocido o que no se puede identificar.

En la siguiente tabla se presentan algunos ejemplos clasificados de acuerdo al tipo de artículo, genero y número.

Las Contracciones

Las contracciones se generan cuando el artículo va precedido por las preposiciones "a" o "de". Se forman a partir de la siguiente estructura:

El artículo neutro "lo"

Se usa para marcar abstracción, es decir, transforma adjetivos en sustantivos abstractos. No señala genero (femenino o masculino).

Lo difícil de aprender español son las conjugaciones.

Hay que aprovechar lo bueno de la vida.

Lo mejor de mi viaje fue...

Notas

Generalmente cuando el artículo indefinido está antes de un sustantivo predicativo no se usa.

Es actor de teleseries.

Es doctor.

Pero sí se usa cuando está acompañado de un adjetivo.

Es un nuevo actor de teleseries.

Es un excelente doctor.

Te explicamos qué son los verbos en infinitivo, sus terminaciones y qué funciones pueden cumplir. Además, ejemplos y uso en oraciones.

¿Qué son los verbos en infinitivo?

En gramática, el infinitivo verbal es una de las formas fijas en que cualquier verbo puede aparecer, parte de los llamados verboides (junto con el gerundio y el participio), ya que no se encuentran conjugados, sino que actúan como si fueran palabras de otra categoría gramatical.

Así, los infinitivos no dejan de ser verbos, pero actúan en la lengua como si fueran sustantivos. Por eso se los escoge convencionalmente para "nombrar" en general a los verbos, o sea, como pieza léxica o entrada para un diccionario, por ejemplo, en lugar de los verbos mismos conjugados para una u otra persona o caso.

Los infinitivos verbales son comunes a todas las lenguas y están determinados en cada una por sus reglas particulares. En español siempre terminan en las partículas "-ar", "-er" o "-ir", como amar, temer o partir.

Como se verá, estos ejemplos no presentan ninguna de las marcas morfológicas de la conjugación (persona verbal, modo verbal, tiempo verbal, etc.), presentes en cambio en "amaré", "temíamos" o "partirás", aunque es posible que presenten pronombres clíticos al final, como en los casos de "amarte", "temerme" o "partirse".

Ver además: Verbos

Funciones de los verbos en infinitivo

Los infinitivos cumplen con variadas funciones dentro del idioma, más allá de servir como "nombre" de los verbos, o sea, de rótulo para diccionarios. Entre dichas funciones encontramos las siguientes:

. Dado que actúa como un sustantivo, el infinitivo puede ocupar el lugar del sujeto de la oración en casos como "Correr es lo único que nos salvará".

Complemento verbal. Igualmente, puede usarse como complemento verbal, tal y como se usaría un sustantivo, en casos como "Yo sólo quiero vivir" (complemento directo), "Nos dedicamos a comerciar bienes" (complemento indirecto) o "Me arrepentí al darme cuenta de todo" (complemento circunstancial).

Otros complementos oracionales. También opera como complemento en situaciones diferentes, como en los casos de "Ella es difícil de entender" (complemento del adjetivo), "Te vimos llegar toda arreglada" (complemento predicativo), "Me senté después de mirar a todos lados" (complemento del adverbio) o suplemento en oraciones complejas.

Como instrucción generalizada. El infinitivo se usa como parte de las instrucciones y prohibiciones como "No fumar", "No entrar sin zapatos" o "Introducir el billete en la ranura".

Ejemplos de verbos en infinitivo

Oraciones con verbos en infinitivo
