"El descuento está a 20% (ahora)". Is this a correct way to use this kind of costruct?
Thank you as always!
Using the example from above:
Tenía que conseguir cualquier trabajo, ya fuera de día o de noche.
I had to get a job, either a day job or a night job.
1) can it be used with MORE than 2 choices?
ex: "I had to get a job, either a day job, a night job, or a part-time job."
and
2) Not sure how ask gramatically... could it also be used in just 1 phrase?ex: "I had to get either a day job or a night job."
Thanks
Hola,
It seems like all previously accented words, such as lámpara, pájaro drop the accent, so that pronunciation is on the penultimate syllable - pajarito, lamparita?
Is that the case and are there any exceptions?
Gracias,
Why does árbol become arbolillo, but corazón becomes corazoncillo? They both end in consonants.
The explanation above says both that "If the original noun ends in a consonant, it usually keeps the last letter (árbol → arbol-illo)", but also that "when the noun ends in a consonant...we tend to keep the whole word and add -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas".
So why isn't it arbolcillo?
Thanks!
This show is called "Españoles en el mundo" not "Españoles por el mundo": https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/espanoles-en-el-mundo/ It's one of my favorite shows in Spanish. Thank you for featuring it Kwiziq team!
Esta lección me hizo reír...
As a very small child, I remember hearing the sentence, ¿Cómo que no? quite often. Perhaps a response to a refusal to do something? I don't think I was a disobedient toddler, so it must have been one of my siblings being a bit naughty, un poco rebelde o algo asi, haha ;))
Hi,
I didn't get a reply to my question below, wondering if it fell through the cracks...
Thank you, Niocle
Is "se" ever used with gustar outside the case of reflexive liking each other?
Por favor, enséñanos la pronunciación y la entonación correctas.
Wow, even after listening this 15 times, I couldn't make head nor tail from this question (¿Puedes creértelo?).
