A Spanish Question
Why are some noun and adjectives placed like (noun) de (adjective) and some (noun)(adjective)? and how do I distinguish between the two?
For example- Sopa de verduras(vegetable soup) / comida buena(good food)

Sopa de verduras(vegetable soup)
here, both 'sopa' and 'verduras' are nouns, so you need 'de' to connect the two
comida buena(good food)
here, 'buena' is an adjective, so you don't need a connector
(noun)de(noun)
(noun)(adjective)
It's just something that you kinda pick up over time, I guess.
It's probably because vegetable is a noun.
[quote=BossesAlwaysWin]Honestly I think you would do something like chico pequeno when you are describing the child with an actual adj and then when you are using the noun "vegetables" as an adjective you put a de. For ex: if you are saying blue chair, it would be silla azul, but if you are saying bird chair, you would say silla de pajaro. Get it? uh if you still dont get it let me know.[/quote]
WTH is a bird chair?
and no, I don't think I get this
Edit: Never mind, I got it
hablas espanol?
@iFeBo but will saying "sopa verduras" make me look stupid?
