Quiz question: "Cuanto más ricos, más desgraciados.
The richer [you are], the more miserable [you'll be]."
Why are these adjectives plural? (They are adjectives, right?)
Hola,
In this lesson we have the example of "Si, te quiero."
The direct object pronouns introduced are: Me, Te, Nos, and Os. The other direct object lesson referred to deals with: lo, la, los, and las.
What is the direct object pronoun for "Usted", the formal of "Tu"; or "Ustedes", the plural of "Tu" in Latin America?
I seem to remember it to be: "le" and "les" respectively.
For example, I would say to my elderly neighbor, "Si, yo le quiero"
Is this correct? And, is there a lesson that covers the direct object pronouns for "usted" and "ustedes"?
Gracias,
N. Hilary
The subjunctive is one of the most fun things to me about Spanish. I'm interested what I can do with it, and how it can work for me!
Is it right to assume that the meaning of pretty much the same conditional sentence in English can be switched from 'likely' to 'unlikely' in Spanish simply by applying the subjunctive? For instance......
LIKELY?: Si nos tomamos unas vacaciones, podríamos ir a España = If we took some holiday, we could go to Spain
UNLIKELY?: Si nos tomáramos unas vacaciones, podríamos ir a España = If we took some holiday, we could go to Spain (but that's just wishful thinking!)
I mean, am I right that the second sentence in Spanish would suggest that actually getting some time off from work is highly unlikely?
...... es un poco dificil pero, si supiéramos utilizar el subjuntivo, podríamos expresarnos mucho mejor en español! ¿Verdad?
Saludos
My answer was: estan pensando
Test says, correct answer is: piensan
Isn't "estan pensando" more accurate here?
Is there a lesson that deals with how to pronounce when two words one ending with a vowel and another beginning with a vowel. It seems that in this case it is pronounced hasta-l amanecer... is it correct that the latter vowel is omitted?
I am struggling with identifying indirect interrogative sentences in spanish. For example, what makes "Cristina no sabe dónde todavía va a celebrar su cumpleaños" an indirect interrogative sentence, but not "Viajaremos adonde nos recomiende el agente de viajes. Can you explain this please or refer me to a lesson that does? Thanks.
Why does this sentence have "lo"? Doesn't dejaron todo mean they left everything?
