Talk:adosada

RFV discussion: December 2018–April 2020
Spanish, noun sense "townhouse". I see a small handful of cites that are true nouns, but none that really indicate what type of building it is. Ultimateria (talk) 04:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The Diccionario de la lengua española, entry adosado, -da states specifically that the adjective is also used as a masculine noun, but is mum about feminine use. In any case, as an adjective, used in a combination like casa adosada, it refers to a row house, one of several identical houses attached to each other at the sides. Used as a noun, provided it refers to a building and not something entirely different, it can hardly mean something else, given how language works. The Diccionario also states that the adjective is especially applied to a, but one (or at least I) wouldn’t consider a typical townhouse a cottage or chalet. An image search for chalé adosado shows plenty of rows of townhouses, though. --Lambiam 10:41, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
