Some colors such as, red, yellow, white and black have gender,
they can be masculine or feminine, depending on the noun.
El auto es rojo, el auto es rojo.
Auto is masculine, the car, is masculine, therefore, rojo, with an O.
El auto es rojo. La manzana es roja, la manzana es roja.
La manzana is feminine, therefore we're going to use an A. Roja.
El plátano es amarillo, el plátano es amarillo.
Plátano is banana, but it's masculine in Spanish, therefore, amarillo has an O.
La flor es amarilla, la flor es amarilla.
La flor is feminine, the flower, therefore we are going to use, "amarilla".
La flor es amarilla. Some other colors stay the same.
Blue, green, pink, brown, they all stay the same.
For example, el cielo es azul, the sky is blue.
La blusa es azul, the blouse is blue. El cielo is masculine, la blusa is feminine,
but we don't have to do anything with the color. It stays azul.
Other colors may look feminine, like rosa, ends with an A,
but you can use it for both masculine or feminine.
La rosa es rosa, the rose is pink. El cerdo es rosa, the pig is pink.
To make a color plural, it's very easy. Just look after the vowel.
If it ends in a vowel, you're just going to add an S.
For example, rojo, rojos, roja, rojas.
If the color ends in a consonant, like azul you are going to add ES.
Azul, azules.
And now it's time for a quiz.
Número uno, number one.
Las plantas son verdes.
Número dos, number two.
El sol es amarilla, el sol es amarilla.
