Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'neurológico' the same as 'nervioso'?
Not exactly. 'Neurológico' is a medical term for things related to the brain and nerves. 'Nervioso' can mean the same in a medical context (sistema nervioso), but in everyday life, it usually means 'anxious' or 'worried'.
Does the word change if I'm talking about more than one thing?
Yes! If the things you are describing are plural, you add an 's': 'problemas neurológicos' or 'pruebas neurológicas'.
Is it capitalized in Spanish?
No, unless it is at the beginning of a sentence. Unlike some languages, Spanish does not capitalize adjectives derived from sciences or proper nouns.
