Is It Amiga Nueva Or Nueva Amiga In Spanish? Help Please?

Question

Which correct way do you say this? "

Is it Amiga Nueva? Or Nueva Amiga?

Soo Confused [O_o] help!!

Answer 1

This is a complicated subject for English speakers learning Spanish, as the difference in meaning that the placement of the adjective makes is barely noticeable (and not translatable) in English.



As a short answer, the correct was to say a new friend (girl) is "Tengo una nueva amiga."



In this instance, the adjective "nueva" should always go in front of the noun "amiga". However, if you were to say the phrase, "Tengo una vieja amiga", this would mean you have a longtime friend. If you were to switch the placement of the adjective to "Tengo una amiga vieja" the meaning would switch to mean you have a friend who is old-aged.
