Questions & Answers about La crítica honesta de mi mentora me ayuda a estudiar español cada día.
What does crítica mean here, and why is it feminine with la?
In this sentence, la crítica is a noun meaning “criticism” (or “feedback,” depending on context).
crítica (feminine noun) = criticism, review
crítico / crítica (adjective) = critical
- un comentario crítico = a critical comment
el crítico / la crítica (person) = critic (someone who reviews things)
- la crítica de cine = the (female) film critic
Here, we clearly have “the criticism”, so we use the feminine noun crítica with the feminine article la:
La crítica honesta… = The honest criticism…
Why is it crítica honesta and not honesta crítica, like in English “honest criticism”?
