FAQ

Emotions & Descriptions in Spanish: common questions

Why do Spanish adjectives have an -o and an -a form?

They agree with the noun: un día bonito, una casa bonita. Adjectives that end in -e or in a consonant, like triste and feliz, use one form for both genders and only change in the plural.

Do I use ser or estar with feelings?

Use estar for how you feel right now: estoy cansado. Use ser for personality and lasting traits: soy tímido. A few adjectives change meaning: es listo means clever, está listo means ready.

What does chévere mean?

In the Caribbean and the Andes, chévere means cool or great. In Mexico people often say padre or chido. These pages use genial as the neutral word and note the regional ones.
