Largas

Largas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective largo, meaning long. In Spanish grammar, adjectives agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify, so the masculine plural form is largos, the feminine singular is larga, and the feminine plural is largas.

Usage and placement: adjectives typically follow the noun they describe, but Spanish allows some flexibility for emphasis or stylistic effect. Examples using feminine plural form include serenos largos or cadenas largas, meaning long serpents or long chains, respectively, with the noun preceding the adjective in natural word order. The feminine plural largas specifically modifies feminine plural nouns, as in calles largas (long streets) or ruedas largas (long wheels).

Limitation and function: largas functions exclusively as an adjective in regular use; it is not a standalone noun. It may appear in literary or idiomatic expressions where context or rhetoric alters usual placement, but its meaning remains “long” or “of considerable length.”

Etymology: largo derives from Latin longus, with modernas forms in several Romance languages. The feminine plural largas shares this origin, reflecting standard gender and number agreement in Spanish adjectives.

Other notes: in addition to its ordinary adjectival use, the word may appear in proper names or toponyms in Spanish-speaking regions, where capitalization signals a non-adjectival function. When encountered as a stand-alone term outside of grammatical contexts, it is typically part of a proper noun rather than a descriptive phrase.
