Questions & Answers about Los pendientes que lleva Laura se ven muy bien cuando hay sol.

Is pendientes the normal word for earrings in Spain?

Yes. In Spain, pendientes is the usual everyday word for earrings. The singular is pendiente.

It can also mean other things in other contexts, such as slopes or pending matters, so learners often notice that it has more than one meaning. Here, because of the context, it clearly means earrings.

Why is it los pendientes and not las pendientes?

Because pendiente is a masculine noun in Spanish, so it takes los in the plural.

This is one of those cases where grammatical gender does not match any natural gender idea. Earrings are just grammatically masculine nouns:

• el pendiente
• los pendientes

So even if Laura is female, the noun itself is still masculine.

Why is lleva used here? Doesn’t llevar usually mean to carry?
