Introduction

These are just some notes left over from when I took Spanish 101 back in 2001. These mostly have to do with family member names, of which there are many in Spanish.

Demonstrative pronouns

  • Ésta/o = this
  • Éstas/os = these
  • Ésa/o = that
  • Ésas/os = those
Note the rule: adjectives go before noun when emphasized.

Relative judgements

Some masculine adjectives are placed before the noun:
  • bueno → buen
  • grande → gran
  • malo → mal
  • uno → un

Family members

Non-blood relatives

  • cuñada/o = brother/sister in law
  • nuera = daughter in law
  • suegro/a = father/mother in law
  • yerno = son in law
  • hermanastro/a = step-brother/sister
  • madrastra = stepmother
  • padrastro = stepfather
  • esposo/a = spouse
  • prometido/a = fiancé

Blood relatives

  • abuelo/a = grandfather/mother
  • tío/a = uncle/aunt
  • sobrino/a = nephew/niece
  • pariente = relative or kin
  • primo/a = cousin
  • nieto/a = grandson/daughter
