Welcome to Three Step SpanishPanish Practice by SpanishPod101.com.

In this lesson, you'll practice asking for the price using common demonstrative adjectives.

Let's look at the main dialogue.

Two people are having a conversation.

A woman is asking the shopkeeper about the price of a painting.

Disculpe, when cost this painting?

Excuse me, how much does that painting cost?

What painting?

This one?

This one?

That pintura

means that painting.

Eza, meaning that, is used here because it's a demonstrative adjective referring to the feminine singular noun, Pintura, which means spading.

There are other demonstrative adjectives in Spanish that also depend on the noun's gender, number and location.

In this lesson we will focus on Este and Esta, which means this and Ese and Eza, which which mean that in spanish if the noun is masculine and singular

este means that if the noun is feminine and singular then esta means this and esa means that.

Here, s and esa are used when the object is closer to the listener than the speaker.

When talking about plural nouns, the endings change.

For masculine plural nouns, estos

means this and esos

means those.
