how do you say "quick brown fox" in spanish??

Question

how do you say quick brown fox in spanish? im just confuse on how you form a sentence using adjectives+noun.

is it rapido marron zorro?? or rapido marron el zorro?? or something else

Answer 1

Adjectives are tricky in Spanish.

Usually you'll see them placed after the noun, but sometimes to convey a certain meaning adjectives are placed before the noun.

For example, to literally say "the quick brown fox" you would say " el zorro marrón y rápido."

However, maybe you mean a different kind of quick, indicating a general quickness about the fox, a quickness of mind, a quickness of reflex. You may want to put the quickness before the noun, as Mlucie did, although I would use agíl instead of rapido.

"El ágil zorro marrón."

Whether or not you would use the article "el" is context dependent, but for the most part, yes, you would use el unless you needed to use the indefinite article "un."

Answer 2

zorro marrón rápido

oh thank you jz900 but why?? the noun comes first before the adjectives? - MEALazarte, Sep 14, 2011

yup the noun almost always comes before the adjectives in Spanish - jz900, Sep 14, 2011

zorro marrón rápido = quick brown fox, el zorro marrón rápido = the quick brown fox, un zorro marrón rápido = a quick brown fox - jz900, Sep 14, 2011
