Questions & Answers about Mi hermana argentina revisa el casco.
Why is argentina after hermana instead of before it?
In Spanish, most descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun they describe. So:
- mi hermana argentina = my Argentine/Argentinian sister
This is the normal order in Spanish. Putting argentina before the noun would sound unusual here.
Also, argentina agrees with hermana because both are feminine singular.
Why is it argentina and not argentino?
Spanish adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.
Compare:
- mi hermano argentino = my Argentine brother
- mi hermana argentina = my Argentine sister
- mis hermanas argentinas = my Argentine sisters
Why is mi used instead of mía?
