Questions & Answers about Ella tiene un cuello largo.
Does largo mean large?
No, largo is a false friend. It looks like the English word large, but it actually means long. If you want to say large or big, you use the word grande.
Why does largo come after cuello?
In Spanish, descriptive adjectives like largo (long) usually come after the noun they describe. You literally say a neck long (un cuello largo).
Since the current lesson is about verbs like gustar, how would I say Her neck hurts using this vocabulary?
Why do we use un (a) here instead of el (the)? I thought body parts use the!
