Did I use the familiar adjective correctly?

Question

I was making up sentences for using the possessive adjectives in Spanish. I got confused and wondered if I was correct with this sentence:

Your cake is delicious. (I want to use the familiar plural used in Spain).

Is it:

Vuestra torta está deliciosa.

-OR-

Vuestra torta estáis deliciosa.

I thought it was the first sentence since I assume the cake is the actual subject.

Answer 1

I would say Vuestro/a torta está deliciosa o Vuestra torta está rica.

= Your cake is delicious

Alternatively, you could say: Esta torta está deliciosa o Este pastel está rico = This cake is delicious

Another way to express the same idea is to say: ¡Vuestra torta está riquísima! = Your cake is delicious

o put even more simply:, Me gusta mucho vuestra torta = I really like your cake

The word 'cake' takes the third person singular está because things ( cake ) are always translated as it (third person singular)

I hope this helps

Answer 2

its the first sentence

Unless maybe you have a real close and familiar relationship with the cake. :) - kirk1, Jun 13, 2013
