carros

nounA1

short for automobiles

Hay muchos carros en la calle hoy.

There are many cars on the street today.

Me gustan los carros rojos.

I like red cars.

Since 'carro' ends in a vowel, you simply add an 's' to make it 'carros' when talking about more than one.

Because 'carros' is a masculine plural word, words describing it must also end in 'os', like 'carros rápidos' (fast cars).

Mistake: “Using 'carros' in Spain to refer to automobiles.”

Correction: In Spain, use 'coches' for cars. If you say 'carros' there, people might think of horse-drawn carts or shopping carts.
