Matching the Noun

Since this is an adjective, it must change its ending to match what you are describing. Use 'acondicionado' for masculine nouns (like 'el aire') and 'acondicionada' for feminine nouns (like 'la sala').

❌ Common Pitfalls

Conditioner vs. Conditioned

Mistake: "Using 'acondicionado' to talk about hair conditioner."

Correction: Use 'acondicionador' for hair products. 'Acondicionado' is mostly for air or rooms.

⭐ Usage Tips

Talking about the cold

In casual conversation, many Spanish speakers simply say 'el aire' to mean 'el aire acondicionado' (the air conditioning).
