Difference between trajito/trajecito or pueblito/pueblecito for example

Hiya,

It seems to me that you can use ito/ecito fairly interchangeably...can you explain whether there is a difference? I believe ecito is more common in Spain than Latin America?

Thanks :) Nat

When is "ya" omitted in Ya sea/ya fuera... o... to express whether... or...

The lesson says "Sometimes "ya" is omitted, and the structure admits some flexibility"

But when is the "ya" omitted? And why?

why is naranja singular in "las flores naranja"

I don't understand why naranja is plural in one example and singular in the other.

Puedes coger las flores naranja del jardín.You can take the orange flowers from the garden.Estas flores naranjas son muy bonitas.These orange flowers are very pretty.

Pasarselo bien

Hola

With the expression pasarselo bien, I have seen examples elsewhere written "la estoy pasando bien" (ie no reflexive pronoun and a feminine direct object pronoun) Please could you explain what the "la" refers to and if both expressions are interchangeable?

Gracias

Dee

...ya he liado a mis amigos...?

Hola Inma,

¿Espero que estés bien?

¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)

Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise:

-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.

-a tope= fully, to the fullest.

-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill.

-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).

Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..." Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'?

Gracias

Nuestro asiento - unfinished previous question

Hola,

The example given is "No vimos nada desde nuestro asiento" and is translated as "We couldn't see anything from our seats." Should the phrase read "desde nuestros / nuestras asientos?
