What do I have to do with these words for my Spanish project?

Okay I need people who are excellent in Spanish. This project I’m doing, I had turned in the rough draft so my teacher looked at everyone’s rough draft and gave it back to all of us. So in Spanish, saying you have long, straight brown hair is el pelo lacio, largo, y castano. I know they have accent marks but I don’t feel like putting that right now. Now I assumed that since I was a girl I had to put lacia, larga, y castana instead of having the o at the end like we were taught. Now my teacher put a thick line under the a’s like something was wrong and now I’m thinking was I supposed to put an o there instead? I thought you changed it to an a if you were a girl. Can anyone please help?

Answer #1

When you’re saying your hair is long, you’re referring to the hair, rather than yourself, and “pelo,” is masculine.

Answer #2

Ohhhh so it does have to be an o. Oh okay. Thank you

Answer #3

^_^

Answer #4

yes.. another thing.. in most Hispanic countries, “pelo” is hair or fur of an animal… “cabello” is hair of a human being… but it is used anyway.. although its not correct grammar.. and i am fully hispanic and tried to argue with my teacher, that is american but teaches spanish and she gets mad… so you might not want to try it..

Answer #5

Haha yeah she kept teaching us pelo so I don’t think it’d be that great of a thing for me to change it. My classmates would probably get confused.

Answer #6

yeah..

Answer #7

I don’t really get what you wanna say, but I know it’s supposed to be “Mi pelo esta muy largo”.

Answer #8

Oh yes, “pela” (femanine) doesn’t exsist. Your hair is masculine, that’s how it is in Spanish.

Answer #9

estar is temporary… the for of “to be” ser, is permanent… and looks/characteristics like hair, eyes, ect. are all in the “ser” form. So it would be “Mi pelo es muy largo”… even though it can change… it still is considered to be in the permanent form

Answer #10

i meant to say “the form of” not “the for”

Answer #11

Así que ya ves, he aprendido algo nuevo. :P Mercid

Answer #12

I’m not American nor Hispanic though……I’m from Curaçao next to Venezuela. That’s why I speak Spanish, but not perfectly. XD

Answer #13
