Spanish Pronouns and Adjectives Part 1Spanish adjectives and Spanish pronouns either come directly before or after the noun they describe. Depending on where you put them can have a direct impact on the meaning of the sentence you are saying.There are adjectives that show ownership (Spanish pronouns), and descriptive adjectives. In part one we'll start with the possessive adjectives. In part two we'll cover the rest. In Spanish if you want to say that something belongs to someone, you will use one of the following adjectives...
So how would you say my shoe (zapato) in Spanish? Mi zapato. How about our shoe? Nuestro zapato. Not too bad, right? Now alittle explanation on the chart.... If the noun is masculine, 'nuestro' remains the same. If the noun is feminine, nuestro becomes 'nuestra'. The same rule applies to vuestro/a, it too changes depending on a masculine or feminine noun. So how would you say our house (casa)? Nuestra casa. Good! Now the difference between the four 'your'.... tu is for your friends when you are talking about one of them. vuestro is for your friends when you are talking about several of them. (Today it is only used in Spain.) su is used when talking about one person's belonging (his/her), or several peoples' belongings (their), and someone older than you (a Sir or Madam). That's a lot to swallow in one bite. You can review it all or see what you've learned by taking the quiz here. Return from Spanish Pronouns / Adjectives Part 1 to Spanish Grammar Menu.
