Questions & Answers about Para nosotros, el resultado de las elecciones es absurdo.
Why do we use para nosotros here instead of por nosotros?
Why is elecciones plural when the English translation says 'election'?
In Spanish, when talking about political voting, the plural form las elecciones is almost always used, even though English typically uses the singular 'election'.
Since the result being absurd is just an opinion, why do we use es instead of está?
Even when expressing a subjective opinion, we use ser (here as es) to describe what we consider to be a defining characteristic or inherent quality of a thing. We are defining the nature of the result, not describing a temporary state.
What does the adjective absurdo agree with in this sentence?
It agrees with el resultado (the result), which is a masculine singular noun. It does not agree with nosotros or las elecciones because the result itself is what is being described as absurd.
