Questions & Answers about Esta imitación de cuero sintético es mala mala.
Why is mala repeated at the end of the sentence?
Since cuero sintético is masculine, shouldn't the ending be malo malo?
The repeated adjective describes the core subject of the sentence, which is imitación, a feminine noun. Even though the masculine word cuero is closer to the verb, it is just part of the prepositional phrase describing the imitation. Both repeated words in the reduplication must agree in gender and number with the noun they actually modify.
Does this double adjective repetition mean the exact same thing as malísima?
Is there a specific way to pronounce mala mala?
