Hola!~

I need to know the colloquial difference between these two words:

harapos and andrajos

They both mean "rags", but I wondered if anybody could be more specific for me. Also if they are male or female.

Thanks,
Suzy

Hello Suzy,

Likely I won't be of too much help, but I'll try. :-)

It is my understanding that harapos are rags, and adrajos
are tattered rags. Not sure that makes sense, but I gather
it means a rag (harapos) or a tattered, raggedy rag (adrajos).

With regard to male or female, I have always been of the
thought that if it ends in Os, it is male, and if it ends in As it is
a female.

Example:
Senorita = female
Senorito / Senor = male

:-)

So you would have, a male rag? LOL A tattered one at that.
