Adjective Agreement
Since 'fabuloso' is a describing word, its ending must match the gender and number of the thing it describes. Use -a for feminine words (una idea fabulosa) and -os/-as for plural words (los resultados fabulosos).
Forgetting Gender
Mistake: “La fiesta fue fabuloso.”
Correction: La fiesta fue fabulosa. (Because 'fiesta' is feminine, the adjective must end in -a.)
maravillosa
mah-rah-vee-YOH-sahmaɾaβiˈʎosa
Examples
Tu hermana es una cocinera maravillosa.
Your sister is a wonderful cook.
La película fue maravillosa, la recomiendo mucho.
The movie was marvelous; I highly recommend it.
¡Qué idea tan maravillosa! Funcionará perfectamente.
What an amazing idea! It will work perfectly.
Gender Agreement
Since 'maravillosa' ends in 'a', it must be used to describe feminine nouns (like 'casa' or 'mujer'). If you are describing a masculine noun (like 'día' or 'libro'), you must use 'maravilloso'.
Mixing Genders
Mistake: “El cena fue maravillosa.”
Correction: La cena fue maravillosa. (Or El día fue maravilloso.) Remember to match the ending of the adjective (o/a) to the gender of the thing you are describing.
divina
dee-VEE-nahdiˈβina
Examples
¡Tu nueva falda es divina! ¿Dónde la compraste?
Your new skirt is fabulous! Where did you buy it?
La cena que preparaste estaba divina.
The dinner you prepared was heavenly (or wonderful).
Ella tiene una sonrisa divina.
She has a gorgeous smile.
Gender Matching
Since 'divina' ends in -a, it must describe a feminine noun. If you were describing a masculine item (like 'el vestido'), you would use 'divino'.
Using the wrong form
Mistake: “Using 'divina' to describe a group of people (e.g., 'Los chicos son divina').”
Correction: Use the plural form 'divinos' or 'divinas' depending on the group. (e.g., 'Las chicas son divinas').
mítico
Examples
El unicornio es un animal mítico.
