Hi Inma,
If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:
A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.
Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?
Hi!
This is a general question I have about words that can both describe a hobby and an occupation. I have been wondering about the example "Soy culturista" (I am a bodybuilder). Would we only say that if we made a living from bodybuilding? Would we say "soy un culturista" instead, if bodybuilding were only a hobby? (I got the variant with un as an alternative suggestion from a translator website.)
Thank you as always!
¿Me pongo un café por favor? Could I get a coffee please?
¿Me pones un café por favor? Could you get me a coffee please?
You give:- Ha venido quejandose hasta hoy = He's been complaining until today. Then:- Sospecho que desde aquel dia viene ocultamdome...- he's been hiding...
Same tense in English but different in Spanish. Why, please?
Hi, thanks for your help. What does “sin un duro” mean?
Shirley.
Hi!
So in another Q&A, a commenter said "Ahora lo tengo", expressing that now they "understand it" or they "got it". Does that work in Spanish? I haven't found a lot about that on translation websites.
Thank you!
Hello Inma, I don't think you understood my question earlier.
I was wondering why there isn't the "personal a" before each name in the example. There is only one a in the example with 2 names. Why isn't there 2 personal a, before each name? In all your examples, the sentences only have one person in each of your examples. I know I've seen before an A before each person/pet when there are 2 or more in a sentence.
Why is it "a Paula y Cristina" and not "a Paula y a Cristina" ?
