Recently when i read some books ,I always notice that some words like "de a" followed by adjective .so i feel confused about this ,can someone help me to explain ?

For example :Nade de particular, como a mis horas ** or **En la calle y en el colegio Tino tenía fama de travieso Thanks

I am not an expert but I think it is possible. I know that a similar construction is possible in French. For example :

Rien de particulier = Nada de particular (Nothing in particular)

Rien de spécial = Nada de especial (Nothing special)

Rien de nouveau = Nada de nuevo (Nothing new)

But maybe you should wait for a Native's response.
