Episode notes
Adjectives Must Match Noun Gender
- Spanish adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they describe.
- Masculine nouns take masculine adjectives and feminine nouns take feminine adjectives.
Live Example: Estoy Contento vs Contenta
- Mark and Kara demonstrate contento/contenta by contrasting male and female speakers.
- They show estoy contento vs estoy contenta to illustrate gendered adjective endings.
Adjectives Also Reflect Number
- Adjectives also change for number: singular vs plural.
- Masculine plural ends -os and feminine plural ends -as (e.g., contentos, contentas).
