Questions & Answers about Qualquer capa é bonita.
Since capa is a feminine noun, why doesn't qualquer change to a feminine form?
The word qualquer is invariable for gender, meaning it stays exactly the same whether it describes a masculine or feminine noun. You use the same word in qualquer capa (feminine) and qualquer livro (masculine).
What happens if I put qualquer after the noun, like uma capa qualquer?
The meaning changes! When placed before the noun, qualquer capa means "any cover" (whichever one you choose). When placed after the noun, uma capa qualquer means "an ordinary cover" or "just some random cover," which can sometimes sound a bit dismissive.
How does qualquer change if I want to talk about multiple covers?
The plural of qualquer is quaisquer, which is highly unusual because the plural 's' is added in the middle of the word! However, in everyday Portuguese, people usually just stick to the singular phrase qualquer capa to express the general idea of "any covers".
