Questions & Answers about El pantalón verde me queda bien.
Why is Spanish using the singular pantalón when English uses the plural “pants”?
In Spanish, a single garment is often treated as a singular countable noun: un pantalón = “a pair of pants.” The plural pantalones can refer to multiple pairs or, in everyday speech, to one pair as well. So both singular and plural are heard in Spain for one pair, but the singular is perfectly normal and precise for a single garment.
Can I say Los pantalones verdes me quedan bien instead? Is there a difference?
