Questions & Answers about Este teléfono tiene una mejor batería.
Why does mejor come before batería instead of after it?
Usually, descriptive adjectives in Spanish go after the noun. However, the irregular comparatives mejor (better) and peor (worse) are exceptions. They almost always go before the noun they describe, just like in English.
Does mejor change depending on the gender of the noun?
Why is it este teléfono and not esto teléfono?
Este is the masculine singular word for 'this' when it comes directly before a masculine noun like teléfono. Esto is the neutral version of 'this,' and it is only used when referring to an unknown object, a statement, or a general idea, never right before a specific noun.
