πŸ’‘ Grammar Points

Feminine Plural Form

"Lindas" is the feminine plural form of the basic adjective "lindo." You must use this form when describing two or more feminine people or things (e.g., las casas lindas).

Agreement with the Noun

In Spanish, the adjective must match the noun it describes. If you are talking about 'the pretty girls' (las chicas), the adjective must end in -as: las chicas lindas.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the Singular Form

Mistake: "Las puertas es linda."

Correction: Las puertas son lindas. (The adjective must be plural to match the plural subject 'puertas'.)

⭐ Usage Tips

Beyond Beauty

While often meaning 'pretty,' 'lindo/a' is also used warmly to mean 'nice' or 'sweet,' especially when talking about gestures or comments.
