Questions & Answers about El diseñador tiene un estilo muy exagerado.
How would I change this sentence to say "What an exaggerated style the designer has!" using the structure from this lesson?
You would say ¡Qué estilo tan exagerado tiene el diseñador! or ¡Qué estilo más exagerado tiene el diseñador! Notice how the phrase un estilo muy exagerado drops the un and swaps out muy for tan or más to form the exclamation. Does the suffix -dor in diseñador work like "-er" in English?
Yes! The suffix -dor (or -dora for females) is often added to a verb to describe the person who does that action. Here, it comes from diseñar (to design), making diseñador the designer. Is exagerado a verb or an adjective here?
It is acting as an adjective, describing the noun estilo (style). It comes from the past participle of the verb exagerar (to exaggerate). Just like in English, many Spanish adjectives are formed from past participles, and they must always agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. Could I change the word order and say un muy exagerado estilo?
That sounds very unnatural. In Spanish, descriptive phrases modified by muy almost always go right after the noun they describe. You need to keep it as un estilo muy exagerado (literally "a style very exaggerated"). Learn El diseñador tiene un estilo muy exagerado and more in Spanish
