Usage Note
Sorprendente is invariable for gender but agrees in number (sorprendentes). It describes something that causes surprise, often with a positive or neutral tone. Do not confuse it with sorprendido ('surprised'), which describes the person who feels the emotion rather than the thing that triggers it.
Examples
"El resultado fue sorprendente."
