What is the meaning of "Desordenada"?

Question

I am learning and can't understand this word

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum. There is a dictionary here, and if you look up desordonada, here is what you'll come up with:

desordenado, -a

adjective1. untidy, messy (habitación, persona); jumbled (up) (documentos, fichas) 2. disorganized, messy (vida, comportamiento) masculine or feminine noun3. untidy person •es una desordenada -> she's very untidy

See, you don't even have to ask anyone!

Answer 2

The translator says "Disorderly" and I am no expert, but it think it's correct.

Since you are asking about "Desordenada" in femenine gender, it is saying "Messy girl." So clean up your room!

Lol Julian seems like you are being very modest here as a fluent speaker in saying you are no expert :) - FELIZ77, Jun 12, 2011

Try to put the word into our dictionary above and you will get the answer.

It would appear that both "disorderly" and "disorganized" are both "desordinada" in Spanish.

Just a note of guidance: The context of the sentence is critical in determining which words should be used and so providing accurate translations Therefore, when asking for meanings of words in future could you please provide people with at least one sentence which would show us how you intend to use the word/phrase

ex 1 His bedroom was untidy = Su dormitorio fue desordenado ( o Su dormitorio fue disarreglado)

2 Maria is disorganised = María es desordenada (The word ''es'' is from the verb ser which is used for describing someone's characteristics/personal qualities ie she is a disorganised person))

I hope this helps

Answer 5

The start of the word, des- (not, off, apart, away), comes from Latin dis-, and it can be found in words like "destruction" (apart + structure), although it is normally dis- or even de-: deform, disappear, disregard...

Then it follows the root "orden", which is not exactly the most difficult word to understand, since English has a nearly identical one in words like "order", "disorder", "ordinate",...

The last part of the word is a past participle ending, which shares with English the fact that it uses a "d". The final -a indicates the gender, which is feminine.

Was it that difficult?
