Palabra clave de gramática

Question

Hello,

I'm looking the verb to refer to matching an ending in Spanish. Does coincidir work?

So if I was talking about the grammar of this phrase:

el atlela más rápido de mundo

In English, I would say rápido matches el atlela in number and gender.

In Spanish can I say: "El adjectivo rápido coincide con el atlela en número y género."

Gracias, amigos

Answer 1

Talking about grammar we don't use the word "coincidir", something "coincide" if is the same, or you meet someone in the street (without a plan). For example: Lo que me dijo el profesor no coincide con lo que pone en este libro/ He coincidido con Paco en la frutería.

In grammar we use the verb "concordar" so:

"El adjetivo concuerda con el nombre en género y número"/ "El sujeto concuerda con el verbo"

Answer 2

This sounds odd to me, perhaps you mean:

El atleta más rápido del mundo ( Usaín Bolt)

I know this is not your question, but your question is based on a mistake. - annierats, Jan 14, 2014

Thanks. I'll change it. - Estudiante77, Jan 14, 2014

Answer 3

Depending on the gender of the person you are talking about, you have to modify the article (El or la) and the adjective (rapido for He or rapida for her). So La atleta mas rapida del mundo----for her El atleta mas rapido del mundo ----for him.
