Questions & Answers about Si esa no me queda bien, me probaré la otra.

Why are esa and la otra used without a noun?

Because Spanish often leaves out the noun when it is already understood from the context.

Here, esa means that one and la otra means the other one. The missing noun is feminine singular, probably something like camisa, chaqueta, falda, etc.

So the full idea is something like:

• Si esa camisa no me queda bien, me probaré la otra camisa.

But Spanish normally avoids repeating the noun if it is obvious.

Why are they feminine: esa and la otra?

They are feminine because they refer to a feminine noun that is being left out.

For example:

• esa falda / la otra
• esa chaqueta / la otra

If the item were masculine, you would get:

• Si ese no me queda bien, me probaré el otro.

And if it were plural:

• Si esas no me quedan bien, me probaré las otras.
