스페인어 형용사

Spanish adjectives (adjetivos) are words that describe or modify nouns. Unlike English, Spanish adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in both gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural). Most adjectives come after the noun, though some common ones precede it.

주요 특징

Gender Agreement

Adjectives must match the gender of the noun. "El libro rojo" (masculine) vs "La casa roja" (feminine).

Number Agreement

Adjectives must also match in number. "El libro rojo" (singular) vs "Los libros rojos" (plural).

Position Matters

Most adjectives follow the noun, but some common ones (bueno, malo, grande, pequeño) often precede it, sometimes with meaning changes.

Shortened Forms

Some adjectives drop their final -o before masculine singular nouns (bueno → buen, malo → mal, primero → primer).

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

Placing all adjectives before the noun

Most descriptive adjectives come AFTER the noun in Spanish, unlike English.

✗ la roja casa | ✓ la casa roja (the red house)

Forgetting gender/number agreement

Always match the adjective to the noun's gender and number.

✗ las libros rojas | ✓ los libros rojos (the red books)

Capitalizing nationality adjectives

Unlike English, nationality adjectives are lowercase in Spanish.

✗ comida Mexicana | ✓ comida mexicana (Mexican food)

스페인어 형용사와 영어의 차이점

Position

English adjectives always come before nouns. Spanish adjectives usually follow nouns, with some important exceptions.

Agreement

English adjectives never change form. Spanish adjectives must agree in gender and number with their nouns.
