Spanish language Q&A Forum

At first I wanted to translate as "la marca está conocida como La Leyenda del Vino" - because to me it seemed to emphasise the result rather than the process. Not too long ago, we discussed this at https://spanish.kwiziq.com/questions/view/alternative-passive-with-estar (where Inma gave a very useful explanation)... and I remembered that [in that other lesson] I had tried to apply the rule [also with "conocido"] - incorrectly using "estar". So here, I changed my mind and made it "la marca es conocida" [despite emphasising the result?] - and was right. Perhaps there is something about "conocido", cautioning us about interpreting a process as a result?

It might be worth mentioning that "Es lógico que" tends to require a subjunctive [or always does?] - because intuitively one might regard it as a certainty; i.e., we do need to learn and remember this.

The lesson says: "We use the construction no + verbo + ningún (a, os, as) to say any." When do you use ningún vs nada for "not any"?

Question:

Queda muy ________ arroz, no podemos hacer la paella.

Answer: poca

I understand the explanation of when to use poco/poca/pocas/pocos but I don't understand why in this circumstance it is feminine, because I thought arroz is masculine. Is 'arroz' actually feminine, or is it because 'la paella' is feminine? 

I often hear both forms on the radio… “las noticias que tú deberías saber” as well as “las noticias que debes saber” Can you explain the difference. When is it appropriate to use deber in the present tense to me (you should)

Hola Inma, - hopefully you will be seeing this or it can be forwarded to you :)  

I was glad to hear your voice.  Hope you and yours are well and the team are all well. 

1) I was interested in finding out why the author chose to use the verb "estar" instead of "ser" for

"It's delicious" regarding "harira" It seems to me this would always be "delicious"!  

(1-1: I wish I could copy/paste here, but for some reason can't.  Is there a way I could do that?

Also I like to keep track of my lessons and errors and notes etc.)

Gracias,

Nicole

What is the difference between un, uno and algún, alguno?

I encountered the following question during an exercise at A1 level:

"Yo ______ mis manos en el agua. (I plunge my hands in the water.)"

It is my understanding that mi/mis should not be used with body parts or clothing. Could you please advise?

Thanks
