💡 Grammar Points
Making it plural
This word is the plural of 'estupidez'. In Spanish, words that end in 'z' change the 'z' to a 'c' before adding 'es' to make them plural.
❌ Common Pitfalls
The 'idad' trap
Mistake: "Saying 'estupidades'."
Correction: The correct word is 'estupideces'. English speakers often try to use '-idad' (like 'stupidity'), but Spanish uses '-ez' for this specific word.
⭐ Usage Tips
Careful with the tone
While not a 'curse word,' calling someone's ideas 'estupideces' can be quite rude or dismissive. Use 'tonterías' if you want to be a bit softer.
