Does the color come before the noun or after the noun in Spanish?

Question

Does the color come before the noun or after the noun in Spanish?

Would it be iguanas verdes or verdes iguanas?

Answer 1

iguanas verdes is the correct answer.

adjectives that go AFTERr the noun:
- descriptive adjectives: those that distinguish the noun from others of its kind; adjectives of color, shape, nationality, religion, and ideology are included in this group.
- adjectives modified by adverbs
ex: son libros muy interesantes

adjectives that go BEFORE the noun:
- adjectives that express a quality or fact that is generally known about the modified noun.
ex: la antigua ciudad de Cuzco- the old city of Cuzco
-possessive, demonstrative, and indefinite adjectives and cardinal numbers
exs: algunos amigos, cinco flores, mis hermanas
- adjectives mejor and peor

Answer 2

It would be iguanas verdes. The noun always comes after the verb in Spanish. Like El Pollo Loco - the Chicken Crazy

Iguanas verdes would be correct.

Answer 8

It would be iguanas verdes. The noun comes before the adjective in Spanish. So it would be carro nuevo not nuevo carro.

Answer 9

it comes after the noun:
LAS IGUANAS VERDES
and also you can say VERDES IGUANAS
but it's a very formal way to speak spanish.

Noun+color

and also:
Noun + verb +color

you have to think that the color is always an adjective, and all the adjectives come after the noun.

la casa ROJA = the red house ( roja is in femenine and singular)

la casas són ROJAS= the houses are red ( rojas is in femenine and plural)

colours: (also have gender and number)
rojo , roja / rojos , rojas RED

verde, verde / verdes, verdes GREEN

amarillo,amarilla/amarillos,amarillas YELLOW

azul , azul / azules ,azules BLUE

*****, negra/ ****** , negras BLACK

blanco, blanca/blancos, blancas WHITE

Answer 10
