Questions & Answers about Nosotros tenemos un problema grande aquí.
Why is it un problema? Doesn't it end in "-a", which usually makes it feminine?
Why is it problema grande instead of grande problema?
Since problema is masculine, shouldn't the word for big be masculine too, like grando?
Adjectives in Spanish do have to match the gender of the noun, but words that end in "-e" are special. They are gender-neutral! So, grande stays exactly the same whether it describes a masculine word (like un problema grande) or a feminine word (like una casa grande).
