¡Qué confundida! Is there a feminine ending because I'm a woman or should I always use a feminine ending?

Question

¡Qué confundida! Is there a feminine ending because I'm a woman or should I always use a feminine ending when I'm constructing a sentence like this. I thought that I had read about a rule that says that one must always use a feminine ending, but now I'm unsure. What is the rule? Here are some other examples: Is it ¡Qué divertida! or ¡Qué divertido! ? Is it ¡Qué fantastico! or ¡Qué fantastica! ?

¡Gracias por la ayuda!

Good question! :D - Findy, Jul 10, 2013

Answer 1

The adjective describes the thing you are talking about, and takes its gender (not yours). Divertido, fantástico, etc. would describe things, and if those things are feminine, you'd use divertida, fantástica, etc.

Answer 2

Also, if it´s left unsaid or neutral or doesn´t refer to anything having gender, i.e is abstract -- i.e. That was fun, Eso fue divertido, they will default to the masculine ending.
