Hello,
I am trying to get an overview of Spanish adjectives.
Am I correct to assume that adjectives that end in -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
This would mean that the following are irregular:
- masculine adjectives that end in -a or -e
- adjectives that end in -z or -l
- adjectives that end in -án, ón, -or
- adjectives that end in -ar
Is this correct?
Are there also other adjectives groups/endings?
In the examples of "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."
Why use 'a' instead of 'para' (for) or 'por' (on behalf of)?

I have a question about reflexive verbs. In general I understand the concept, and I in general I know when to recognize the verbs. What I have trouble with is knowing when to use them in a sentence. For example take these two sentence:
I walk in the morning. Camino por la mañana.
I bathe in the morning. Me baño por la mañana.
Now I use the Google translate app and one of these sentences uses a reflexive verb and its pronoun and one does not. I don't understand the difference. I understand "I bathe myself in the morning" is how the translation would be from Spanish to English. But why does "I walk in the morning" not translate as "I walk myself in the morning". After all I'm not walking the dog or walking somebody else, I'm walking myself. Or is this just a matter of the Google translate app being incorrect??
· I know her: Le conozco / La conozco
There is a lot of discussion on the internet about whether “him” and “her” are direct objects of conocer that should use lo and la.
When I hear the phrase "la falda es bonita", it sounds like "la fine-da ...". I would expect to hear something like "foul-da". Do you agree? I have to admit it has taken me years and a pair of good hearing aids to make progress with hearing Spanish pronunciation. Thank you for your excellent Spanish learning application!
Hi! my first post, so first things first: kwiziq is great!
About the sentence "Ella piensa muy despacio." Isn't that supposed to be "despaciamente", as it is an adverb that describes the way she thinks?
Thank you!
