Trabalenguas = singular o plural?
Yo se que trabalenguas está "tongue twister". Pero el final de la palabra está "s". Está singular o plural? Si singular, que es la plural?
¡Muchas gracias!

¡Muchas gracias, Rusty! Especialmente para las correcciones muy útil.
¿Tan el singulares y el plural son iguales? Eso es fácil. ![]()

¿Tanto la forma singular como la plural son iguales? (So,) both the singular form and the plural (form) are the same? Yes! When you encounter a Spanish word that is singular AND ends in the letter s, the word will always be masculine! Changing the article from el to los is all you have to do to make the word plural. That is easy! The la that precedes plural in my corrected sentence is not an article, by the way. It is a relative pronoun and refers back to la forma. I steered you wrong in my previous post where I wrote el plural. It should have been la (palabra) plural. Plural is an adjective, not a noun, so the el or the la that you see in front of the word is a relative pronoun and it always refers back to something else masculine or feminine. I'll correct my earlier post to reflect the proper relative pronoun. Sorry about that. |

No apology necessary, Rusty. I'm a bit oversaturated at this point anyway. I got off work early today (weather stuff), and came home and have been reading and attempting to write stuff here on TomÃsimo for a few hours now. I get to a certain place and I know that I won't remember anything else if I keep it up, so I think I'm done for the evening. (Or maybe not.......)

Grammatically, these are referred to as invariable nouns, in that they have the exact same form in singular and plural. Likewise, invariable adjectives do not change to match the noun in gender or number, but always have the same form.

Cool! Can you give me an example or two of an invariable adjective? Thanks, David!

Sure. Invariable adjectives are usually nouns being used as adjectives. For example:
rosa - los vestidos rosa = the pink dresses hembra - las elefantas hembra = the female elephants macho - las culebras macho = the male snakes web - las páginas web = the web pages These are true invariable adjectives that do not change for number or gender. Some people refer to adjectives that do not change for gender but do change for number as invariable adjectives as well. For example interesante which stays the same when modifying a masculine or feminine noun, but you do add an s in the plural.

You can say or "las elefantas" or "los elefantes hembra", but both at the same time doesn't match
