Most adjectives that end in -n or -s do not have separate feminine forms, e.g.
- un abrigo marrón (a brown overcoat)
- una camisa marrón (a brown shirt)

However, adjectives of nationality ending in -n or -s do have separate feminine forms in both the singular and the plural:
| Masculine (singular and plural) | Feminine (singular and plural) |
| un chico alemán (a German boy) | una chica alemana (a German girl) |
| unos chicos alemanes (some German boys) | unas chicas alemanas (some German girls) |
| un chico inglés (an English boy) | una chica inglesa (an English girl) |
| unos chicos ingleses (some English boys) | unas chicas inglesas (some English girls) |
| Masculine (singular and plural) | un chico alemán (a German boy) |
|---|---|
| Feminine (singular and plural) | una chica alemana (a German girl) |
| Masculine (singular and plural) | unos chicos alemanes (some German boys) |
|---|---|
