Questions & Answers about Quiero una falda pequeña, por favor.
Why does it just say Quiero and not Yo quiero?
In Spanish, the verb ending usually tells you who is doing the action. Quiero specifically means I want, so adding the word Yo (I) is not necessary unless you want to add special emphasis.
Why is the order falda pequeña instead of pequeña falda?
Unlike in English, describing words (adjectives) in Spanish usually come after the thing they are describing. So, you place the word for small (pequeña) after the word for skirt (falda).
Why does pequeña end in an -a?
Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because falda (skirt) is a feminine noun, the word for small changes to its feminine form, pequeña. If you were buying a small masculine item like a dress (un vestido), it would be un vestido pequeño.
