Picarón y picarona
Question: Tu amiga es un poco ________. Answer, Picarona. Why is the question not.... Tu amiga es una poca picarona, instead of Tu amiga es un poco picarona?
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Forming the singular and plural of adjectives ending in -án, ón, -or"

Hola James
That is because here "un poco" is acting as an adverb, not an adjective, so it doesn't change to agree with the gender. Same as when we say: es muy picarón/picarona; es bastante picarón/ picarona; also "es un poco picarón/picarona".
I hope it clarified it.
Saludos

Thanks Inma. I always have trouble distinguishing adverbs and adjectives. But your answer makes perfect sense. And I knew this rule just had trouble applying it.
