los colores Colours
| Word | Meaning | Don't say |
|---|---|---|
| rojo | red adjective, changes: rojo, roja | Tengo una camisa rojo. ✗ · Tengo una camisa roja. ✓ The colour agrees with the noun: camisa is feminine, so roja. |
| verde | green adjective, same for el/la; plural verdes | Los pimientos son verde. ✗ · Los pimientos son verdes. ✓ Verde has no gender change, but it still takes -s in the plural. |
| azul | blue adjective; plural azules | Tengo los ojos azul. ✗ · Tengo los ojos azules. ✓ Azul needs a plural form, azules, when the noun is plural. |
