“pasamos a la nariz” is translated as “let’s do the nose”.

Is this correct?

Foggy and sunny are both adjectives so why does one use hay and one use está?

Hay niebla

Está soleado,

Gracias

Hi,

In this sentence: Vienes conmigo al cine? -________. Estoy cansada.

Why are both "no se" and "no lo se"correct, if it is expressing doubt?

Thanks

En la oración: Espero que mi madre COCINE un pavo asado riquisimo con un relleno hecho de pan y maiz de salvia. What is the conjugation of "cocine", please? 

cooks, has cooked, will have cooked

It would really help if the English translations were closer to the answer you're looking for, especially in this lesson where depending on whether you're in Latin America or Spain, people could choose either option and be correct.

This is the question from the quiz that I got wrong:

Hoy no _________________ a nadie interesante.I haven't met anybody interesting today.
I selected "he conocido" because that is the direct translation and it seems like that's what they'd say in Spain due to the timing. But in Latin America (which is my selected profile but I'm not sure that it actually impacts my quizzes or not), it would be "conoci".
If you translated it to "I didn't meet anyone interesting today", that would make sense in English and prompt the correct answer, would it not? Because it seems like based on this lesson, either answer is correct depending on what Spanish-speaking country you're in!

Como yo entiendo, "mejor te vas" es "you better go." Se puede usar "mejor + verbo en presente" como "you better..."  lo que sea?" Tal como "mejor comes ya" o "mejor vienes pronto." Sé que podría decir "deberías comer ya" o "come rápido!" para expresar "you should eat now" y "eat quickly!" pero "you better eat now" y "you better come soon" son distintas en el tono. Y también el contexto es importante. Así la pregunta. ¡Gracias!

Hola!

Espero que la Navidad haya sido muy especial y que el año nuevo también sea muy especial para usted y para todos en el equipo.

1st Section: 

It reminds me of the King Cake

Kwizbot           Me recuerda al roscón de reyes
You                  Lo me recuerdo del roscón de reyes.

I was wondering

1)why is the direct object not used here,

2) and what is the rule and lesson for understanding why “recuerda” and not “recuerdo”.  I had a thought that it might be similar to “me gusta”…

3) why the use of “al” and not of “del”

2nd section: 

Question:

Why is ser is used and not estar:

because its shape is similar

Kwizbot           porque su forma es similar/  parecida

You                  porque su forma está similar

Muchas gracias,

Nicole

I've been saying "bolsa" for a year and a half but I just saw a lesson example that used "bolso." A search showed many instances of both. Is it a regional difference, or is there a grammatical rule in play?

Hi,

I was wondering if and how this sentence would change if you were to use "para" and it comes to mind that perhaps if you used "para" then the sentence would have to change to "para trabajar" and not "para trabajo" ?

Or would there be 3 different meanings for each use: por trabajo, para trabajo, para trabajar (the latter meaning for the purpose of work, correct?)

Thank you. Nicole
