Notes About Adjectives
Adjectives in Spanish can be masculine or feminine. They agree with the gender of the subject. Nouns ending in -o are generally masculine, and nouns ending in –a are generally feminine.
Mi hermano es rico = my brother is rich.
Mi hermana es rica = my sister is rich.
Some nouns or adjectives, for example nouns or adjectives ending with -e, don't express gender. We indicate the gender with the pronoun, article or adjective.
Pobre
Ella es pobre = she is poor.
Él es pobre = he is poor.
Estudiante
Ella es estudiante = she is a student.
Él es estudiante = he is a student.
These adjectives are generally used with ser, but you may hear some native speakers use estar to indicate their perception at the moment.
Seria
Ella es seria (part of her personality).
Ella está muy seria (she looks serious, she looks upset/mad).
A few adjectives have a different meaning with ser or estar.
Rico
Él es rico = he is rich.
El pastel está rico = the cake is delicious.
