Judías - ¿Qué son estas?
Hi all!
Have you heard of the word judías? I think it means beans or chili. Being near Mexico, I'm so used to hearing frijoles.
Thanks! :rolleyes:

OK, I found a thread on shortening the words before a masculine noun. That helped. Is there a rule as to whether you put the word in front or behind the noun?
Thanks!
