right wing
Usage Note
Derecha is feminine and means both 'the right side' (gira a la derecha, turn right) and 'the political right' (la derecha española). The adjective form is derecho/a (right, straight, upright). Note that el derecho (m) means 'law' or 'right/entitlement' — the change of article shifts the meaning entirely.
Examples
"Gira a la derecha en el semáforo."
Natural Translation
Turn right at the traffic light.
