Learning Diminutives

SD Lesson 4.3 covers this (all in Spanish)
Here's another helpful link:

Learning Diminutives Review

1. Change the given noun, adjective, adverb, or name, making it diminutive.

2. Then add another noun for the next player to make into a diminutive.

3. After changing the previous player's word, add a new noun, adjective, name or adverb for the next player to use.

Remember to click the 'Newest' button to see which one was the last thread to build from. Listo?


You may add a picture to illustrate your diminuitive noun, adjective, adverb or name.

I'm a beginner too, so I appreciate any corrections that you can give.

I'll begin the game with: Gato -> gatito

Next word: Perro

Very good Cordobesa, I was afraid there was no diminutive for lamb so I changed it. - pmikan-pam, Apr 2, 2012
Pmikan, I edited to change the word to cordero since Cordobesa had already posted. I think we are straight and back on target now. ;o) - katydew, Apr 2, 2012
