does this word have a masculine form?

Question

I am learning Spanish and trying to identify adjectives that change with noun gender, and those that do not. Does this word have a masculine form, i.e. vanidoso?

Gracias!

VanidosO is masculine. The feminine form is VanidosA. - Moe, Sep 28, 2009

Answer 1

I am just learning Spanish but I think all adjectives have masculine and feminine forms.

This is not correct...adjectives that do not end in -a/-o or -án, -ón, -ín, -ór in the singular usually have the same masculine/feminine form.

For example:

dulce, gris, azul, feliz, capaz, etc

Comparative adjective also do not have a separate feminine form.

mejor, peor, superior, etc

Adjectives that denote a persons place of origin and adjectives that end in -án, -ón, -ín, -ór usually add an -a/-as to make the adjective feminine

Example:

holgazán = holgazana

mandón = mandona

encantador = encantadora

castellano = castellana

See if you can follow this pattern and apply it to your own specific question regarding vanidoso.
