Questions & Answers about Les botes blanques no són les que busco; jo volia unes sabatilles negres.
Why is it les botes blanques and not els botes blanques?
Because botes is a feminine plural noun in Catalan, so it takes the feminine plural article les.
- la bota = the boot
- les botes = the boots
The adjective also has to match in gender and number, which is why you get blanques.
Why does blanques end in -es?
Catalan adjectives usually agree with the noun they describe in gender and number.
Here, botes is feminine plural, so:
- blanc = white, masculine singular
- blanca = feminine singular
- blancs = masculine plural
- blanques = feminine plural
So botes blanques means white boots, with full agreement.
Why is it no són and not no estan?
