Grammar Rules

Adjective of House and Specific Rooms in Spanish

Adjectives are words that help us to describe the qualities of the people, the different objects or particular moments from our lives.

When we want to describe our house, a specific room or the objects that are part of it, we use particular adjectives that come to our aid.

Are you curious to know what are the adjectives that describe the house and specific rooms in Spanish? Let’s start!

Firstly, we have some examples:

  • Mi casa es moderna. - My home is modern.
  • Mi cocina es luminosa. - My kitchen is luminous.
  • Mi dormitorio es espacioso. - My bedroom is spacious.
  • Mi baño es pequeño. - My bathroom is small.
  • Los cuartos son hermosos.- The rooms are beautiful.
  • Las puertas son altas.- The doors of my home are high.

What can we see from these sentences?

We can observe that adjectives in Spanish are determined by the nouns in front of them. That means adjectives can be variable and change according to gender (masculine or feminine) or number (singular or plural) of the nouns.

SINGULAR PLURAL

-o (masculine)

moderno: Mi dormitorio es moderno.

+s

modernos: Mis cuartos son modernos.

-a (feminine)

moderna: Mi casa es moderna.

+s

modernas: Las puertas son modernas.

Here are some examples where you can also listen the pronunciation in Spanish and check the differences of gender and number :

Let’s practice the adjectives that describe the house and specific rooms in Spanish!

Verbs Used to Describe the House in Spanish

What verbs do we use to describe our house or specific rooms? Let’s see then!

  • SER + adjetivo: Mi casa es pequeña.

estĂĄ

tiene

  • Mi casa es hermosa. - My home is beautiful.
  • Las sillas son pequeñas.- The chairs are high.

As well, we use the irregular verbs TENER and HABER to talk about the things in the rooms or the entire house:

  • Mi casa tiene ventanas altas.- My home has high windows.
  • HABER:
  • En mi casa hay cuartos grandes. - In my home there are big rooms.
  • Fuera de la casa hay una terraza amplia. - Outside of the house there is a wide terrace.
