Spanish Vocabulary - Adjectives

Beginning Spanish: A basic course in the Spanish language


 
This page lists some of the the most commonly used Spanish language adjectives. Keep in mind that Spanish adjectives must match the nouns they modify in gender (male or female) and number (singular or plural).

Note: The table below lists the Spanish adjectives in both their masculine and feminine forms. If only one form of the adjective is listed, it serves as both the masculine and feminine forms.
