[edit] Questions

Hi. I'm the main contributor to this article. If anyone has any questions regarding Spanish grammar, I'd be happy to answer them, and incorporate the answer into the article. Fire away! — Chameleon 17:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There should be a mention of Spanish demonyms (adjectives describing people from a certain location) always being in lower-case (just like in Italian, French, Portuguese, and maybe other Romance languages), except in the case of being the first word of a sentence or in a title. I'm not sure if this lower-case is due to these languages considering demonyms just like common adjectives or if there's another reason, so that should be mentioned, too.4.230.162.30 23:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Word order

Can someone add specific information as to when adjectives go before the noun? "otro" is one, right? --LakeHMM 04:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

"Otro" and "otra" mean 'other' or 'another', so they're not adjectives, which is part of the reason why they come before the noun. Other examples are "mas", "menos", "cualquiera", "ninguno" which mean 'more', 'less', 'any', 'none'. All of these specify which noun is being refered to, they're not actually describing the noun. Same with "un", "dos", "tres", etc. which mean 'one', 'two', 'three', etc. Any helping word that specifies or quantifies nouns go before. More information can be found under the 'Determiners' section of the Spanish Language main article. 65.16.160.82 15:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple adjectives

When a noun has more than one adjective, how is this done in spanish? For example would the "wet black dog" translate as "El perro negro mojado" or "el perro negro y mojado"?38.112.225.84 (talk) 22:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Both are possible but I think this is not the place for such questions. --Jotamar (talk) 13:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
