Adjectives and Other Qualifiers

Contrary to English, adjectives follow the object they qualify, except for emphatic or poetic use, as in criatura bella, “beautiful creature,” and bella criatura, “oh, what a beauty.”

Important qualifiers and cognates to know:
Generoso/a, “generous.”
Tacaño/a, “stingy.”
Agradable, “nice.”
Oodioso/a, “odious, obnoxious.”
Pesado/a, "heavy, tacky, rude.”
Confiable, “trustworthy.
Sospechoso/a, “suspicious.”
Limpio/a, “clean.
Maloliente (most important in odorless societies), “foul-smelling.”
