Questions & Answers about La toalla de lino es suave.
Why is it de lino and not del lino?
In Spanish de + noun indicates the material something is made of. You only use del (which is de + el) when you need a definite article with a masculine noun (e.g. la tapa del frasco). For materials you drop the article: toalla de lino = towel made of linen.
Why does lino stay masculine even though toalla is feminine?
Why do we use es instead of está for suave?
Why doesn’t suave change its ending to match the feminine toalla?
