How to Say "fitted" in Spanish

English → Spanish

acondicionado

/ah-kohn-dee-syoh-NAH-doh//akondiθjoˈnaðo/

adjectiveB1general
Use 'acondicionado' when 'fitted' refers to being equipped or furnished with necessary items, particularly systems like air conditioning or heating.
A person sitting comfortably in a cozy room while a simple wall-mounted air conditioning unit blows a gentle breeze.

Examples

Este hotel tiene aire acondicionado en todas las habitaciones.

This hotel has air conditioning in all the rooms.

La sala está bien acondicionada para la reunión.

The room is well-equipped for the meeting.

Necesitamos un vehículo acondicionado para el transporte de alimentos.

We need a vehicle adapted for transporting food.

Matching the Noun

Since this is an adjective, it must change its ending to match what you are describing. Use 'acondicionado' for masculine nouns (like 'el aire') and 'acondicionada' for feminine nouns (like 'la sala').

Conditioner vs. Conditioned

Mistake: “Using 'acondicionado' to talk about hair conditioner.”

Correction: Use 'acondicionador' for hair products. 'Acondicionado' is mostly for air or rooms.

montado

/mohn-TAH-doh//monˈtaðo/

adjectiveB1general
Choose 'montado' when 'fitted' means something has been assembled and installed in its place, like furniture or equipment.
A wooden toy robot partially put together with various pieces lying nearby.

Examples

El armario ya está totalmente montado.

The wardrobe is already completely assembled.

El escenario para el concierto ya está montado.

The stage for the concert is already set up.

Assembled vs. Built

Mistake: “Using 'construido' for IKEA furniture.”

Correction: Use 'montado' because you are putting pre-made pieces together rather than building from raw materials.

quedaron

/ke-DAH-ron//keˈð̞a.ɾon/

verbB1general
Use 'quedaron' (from 'quedar') when referring to how clothes fit someone's body, emphasizing their appearance or size.
Two children, a boy and a girl, dressed neatly in bright, tidy clothing, standing side-by-side and smiling, depicting a positive appearance.

Examples

Los nuevos uniformes quedaron muy elegantes.

The new uniforms looked very elegant.

Las cortinas rojas no quedaron bien con la pared azul.

The red curtains didn't look good (didn't go well) with the blue wall.

Después de la remodelación, las habitaciones quedaron mucho más amplias.

After the remodel, the rooms turned out much more spacious.

Quedar + Adjective

In this sense, 'quedar' is often followed by a descriptive word (an adjective) to explain the state or appearance of the subject.

Don't confuse installed items with clothing fit

Learners often confuse 'acondicionado'/'montado' (for installed or equipped items) with 'quedaron' (for how clothes fit). Remember, 'acondicionado' and 'montado' describe physical installations, while 'quedaron' describes the look or fit of clothing.
