Lo que + superlativeOne question on a quiz I just took was something like
_________ menos me impresiona del cuadro es el color. (What impresses me least about this picture is the color.)
I entered 'Lo que el,' which was wrong. The correct response was 'Lo que.' To me, this seems to mean 'What impresses me less..., ' and it strikes me as a tricky combination of the lessons about 'lo que, etc', and 'el menos/la menos etc.' The lesson that I was referred to for review was the 'lo que etc.' lesson, but I found no example of it used immediately followed by a superlative.
It's been my understanding that an article is required to form a superlative (as in - menos=less, el/la/los/las/lo menos=the least). So it seems that the superlative article gets dropped immediately after 'lo que?' What if the sentence had been constructed slightly differently, 'Lo que me impresiona el menos del cuadro es el color?'
When I selected "Yo vivo en" it was marked incorrect. There was an option for "Vivo en" but I chose to include the Yo. Is "Vivo en" the best answer? Is that why it was marked incorrect?
I'm sure we all value the great work Inma, Silvia and the rest of the team do in answering all the questions we put to them on the Q&A Forum. I do. For me, this adds a lot to what makes Kwiziq such a valuable learning resource.
So, I think it would be a great idea to be able to add these replies to a seperate notebook. This would not only allow for revision, but also give me some reference to go every time I think, "Hmmm, I'm sure someone gave me a really useful answer on this already!"

Hola Inma,
I can't really understand the diference (if there is one) between fuera - afuera and dentro - adentro. ¿Me podrías explicar?
¡Feliz año nuevo!

I was just wondering if there are any new languages planned for release in the near future. I have read (I think it was on Twitter) that German, Italian and Portuguese were potentially in the works.
If so, that would be excellent news, as KwizIQ is definitely one of the best language resources out there!!
The "las" in " … donde se las tuvieron que ingeniar …" is obviously an integral part of a specific [idiomatic?] expression; Why is it feminine plural? Is it referring to something specific? My dictionaries do list "ingeniárselas" as a separate word in its own right.
In the reflexive pronoun chart in this lesson I think you should also include se to be used for yourself (singular formal) and also yourselves (plural formal).
I don't understand the construction of the sentence: You do not have my permission to talk to me this way
“no te consiento que me hables así” surely implies: I do not permit you to talk to me this way
Is this wrong:
Tú no tienes mi permiso para hablar conmigo así.
Re: It is very close to the beach!
Kwizbot ¡Está muy cerca de la playa!
You !Está muy cerca a la playa!
You could also say: ¡Está muy próximo a la playa!
Would it be correct to say: “cerca a” or does cerca always require a “de”
Thank you, Nicole
In the first question of the quiz above, why is there no personal 'a' before 'este cliente'. Would it be more grammatically correct to write 'conseguir a este cliente' considering that the customer is a person? Thank you!
