Hello! I'm Sergi Martin, and today I want to explain how we use,

Colors in Spanish.
If you want to know how to say the colours in Spanish, there are many webs,
many videos
and many opportunities
to know the vocabulary of colors in Spanish .
But I think it is much more important
to know how we use them,
and to do that the most important thing is
understand and classify them in some way.
The first thing we have to understand
is that the colors are adjectives.
An adjective is simply a description
of an object, a person, an idea ...
Objects, persons and ideas have names.
For example,
this is a pen.
Pen is the name of this object.
Pen is male.
This is very important,
because in Spanish the nouns can be male or female .
There are not neutral nouns.
There are not neutral objects.
So, a color is only the description of an object .
If the object is male, the color is also male.
For example, this is a black pen.
As the color can describe different objects,
the color changes the gender,
male / female.
and the number, singular / plural.
We can say: " A black pen "
" A black cap "
" Some black gloves "
or " Some black glasses "
***, NEGRA, NEGROS, NEGRAS.
If we understand this, using well the colors in Spanish is not that difficult.
Now we will classify colors to understand how they change.
We have some colors in male singular ending in "o "
Blanco, ***, rojo, amarillo.
The female changes the "o " with an " a".
Blanca, negra, roja, amarilla.
The plural adds an " s " .
Blancos / blancas,
negros / negras,
rojos / rojas,
amarillos / amarillas.
other colors
are equal in male and female.
Verde, naranja, rosa, lila,
azul, marrón, gris.
Remember that these colors
do not change the gender.
Un bolígrafo marrón. Una bufanda marrón.
But do change the number.
If they end in a vowel, add an " s " .
And if they end
in a consonant, add "es" .
Verdes, naranjas, rosas, lilas,
azules, marrones, grises.
Now we can talk about different objects male or female,
singular or plural and describe their color correctly.
Here we have some examples.
A white, pink, black vest.
A white jacket, a blue jacket,
a green jacket,
an orange jacket and a black jacket.
Some black, blue, gray, pink pants.
Black, purple, green boots.
These are some basic colors, but there are many other colors.
