Wait...Elenor left Jaime??

ok viva the next test is ready but are you ready? the plural form of nouns I will post it later it's just an advice to you to be ready

Viva: something about your test at the top...

Radio is feminine, I think... Isn't it "la radio"? (Natives plz verify this )

I know there are some words whose gender varies with the dialect (piyama is an example... You can say both "el piyama" and "la piyama", depending on your country of origin).

well as far as I know the same happens with radio, I've heard people saying el radio and la radio also with tv, el televisor and la television, el refrigerador, la refrigeradora and so on.

it is pijama

Ok before you take the test you should remember this about the plural form of nouns.

If a noun ends in a vowel, make it plural by adding -s.

libro: libros
(libro + s)
pluma: plumas
(pluma + s)

The definite articles (el, la) also change in the plural form. They become "los" and "las."

el libro: los libros

la pluma: las plumas

If a noun ends in a consonant, make it plural by adding -es.

el borrador: los borradores
(borrador + es)
la universidad: las universidades
(universidad + es)

If a noun ends in -ión, add -es and drop the written accent.

la conversación: las conversaciones

la sección: las secciones

If a noun ends in -z, add -es and change the z to c.

el lápiz: los lápices

la voz: las voces

When the plural refers to two or more nouns of different genders, the masculine plural is used.

2 perros + 6 perras = 8 perros (not perras)
1 gato + 8 gatas = 9 gatos (not gatas)

A few nouns are "compound nouns," that is, they are formed by combining two words into one.

(Example: abre + latas = abrelatas / open + cans = can opener)

These compound nouns are always masculine, and the plural is formed by changing the "el" to "los."

el abrelatas
los abrelatas

el paraguas
los paraguas

shayfe? 3abqariyet zamani well I know sweet = dulce, so maybe tu eres dulce and always is siempre

Ya salam the spanish will kick me for butchering their language but here's my try

tu eres dulce como siempre

Good job, Viva

I'm not sure if it's eres or estás, though, because convention dictates that it's eres, but if you're comparing to time, is it a "temporary condition" so should use estás?

...Never mind, it says "as always"; I believe Noor is correct here

so is tan, although it's not really necessary

Wait no...Viva got it right?!

Jajaja lolo shayfe? A7la espaniye

Haha, yeah, you're progressing mahdoome!
