Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi...

My name is Zotya and I wonder how I can expect it to be pronounced by Spanish people when I arrive there in October.

I am specifically interested because if the first letter "Z".

Thank you all.

Why in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?

Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)

Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)

The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.

---------------------------------------------

And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?

Adjective           before             after

  pobre           unfortunate        poor

---------------------------------------------

It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting. 

Thank you, James

It only says "We can also form the superlative of some adverbs with the suffix -ísimo", but not which ones these are. 

There's something on cerca & lejos, but how about other irregular adverbs (those having an independant form, like bien)?

It seems these would not have any -ísimo from, as I neither found "lo hiciste bienísimo" nor "lo hiciste buenísimo", but solely "lo hiciste muy bien".

The professor gives the certificate TO ME, looks like a indirect object pronoun ie me te le nos os les. Yet the lesson uses mi an adjectival pronoun??   In the test the answer requires Ella a subject pronoun as do some of the examples. 

Why is the "quedarse + gerund" translated throughout as "stay...". I'm a native U.S. English speaker, and I don't know anyone who would say that someone "stays doing" anything. We'd say the person "keep doing...".

Hola Inma,

The question was given in this format "Está bien que vosotros ________ todas las noches."

It seems like an impersonal statement but isn't the usual structure Ser+Adjetivo+Que ..... hence: "Es bueno que leáis todas las noches?"

Saludos. John

I thought that ' el billete de tren' had a determiner - 'el'  as opposed to the general 'un billete de tren'. Please explain
