which is proper rojo or roja for red salsa

Question

"Give me some salsa rojo and some spanish rice" someone said it should be salsa roja in the feminine. Which is correct?

Answer 1

By using the dictionary above you will find out that "salsa" is a feminine noun and since in Spanish adjectives need to agree with nouns, it would be proper to say, "roja salsa". Hope this helps.

My mistake! kcastnerinho is correct. Sorry if I confused anyone!

Answer 2

Since salsa is a feminine word (la salsa) it takes the -a ending for adjective. Most Americans don't usually care for gender agreement, especially when speaking their own language, but the proper way is salsa roja.

You inadvertently said masculine rather than feminine. That's what I fixed. - Goyo, Feb 19, 2011
