Questions & Answers about El campesino hizo un abono nuevo con muchos nutrientes.
Why is it abono nuevo instead of nuevo abono?
In Spanish, placing nuevo after the noun means it is brand new or newly made. Placing it before the noun (nuevo abono) usually means it is a new fertilizer to the farmer (like a replacement or a different brand), even if it is not a newly invented formula. Here, the farmer literally created a brand-new fertilizer.
Could I use granjero or agricultor instead of campesino?
Yes, but they have slight differences. Campesino refers to a peasant or someone who lives and works in the countryside (el campo). Agricultor specifically means an agricultural worker or crop farmer. Granjero usually implies someone who runs a farm (granja), often with animals.
I have seen abono used to mean a payment or subscription. Does it also mean fertilizer?
Why is it muchos nutrientes and not muchas nutrientes?
Nutriente is a masculine noun, so it requires the masculine adjective muchos. Words ending in -ente are often masculine (like el accidente or el ambiente), though there are a few feminine exceptions (like la fuente).
