From Lesson 78:Adjective intensification (-ísimo)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Hay unas habitaciones grandísimas en ese hotel.

How do we form grandísimas from the regular Spanish word for "big"?
The normal word for "big" is grande. To say "extremely big", we drop the final vowel -e and add the suffix -ísimo. Because it describes habitaciones, which is feminine and plural, the suffix changes to match: grandísimas.
How do I know that habitaciones is a feminine noun?
In Spanish, almost all nouns that end in -ción (like habitación, canción, or estación) are feminine. That is why this sentence uses the feminine plural article unas for "some" and the feminine adjective ending in grandísimas.
Why use ese for "that hotel" instead of eso?
Ese is the masculine singular word for "that" when it is placed directly before a specific masculine noun (like hotel). Eso is used for abstract ideas, statements, or unknown things (like asking ¿Qué es eso? for "What is that?"), but eso is never placed right next to a noun.
Does hay change because we are talking about multiple rooms?
No, hay stays exactly the same. It is a special form that means both "there is" and "there are". Even though we are talking about several rooms, we just use hay, never a plural form.
